Anheuser-Busch Inbev produces, markets, distributes and sells a portfolio of beer and other malt beverage brands. These include brands with international distribution, such as Budweiser, Stella Artois, Beck's, Leffe, Hoegaarden and Michelob Ultra; and brands primarily distributed to local markets including Bud Light in the United States; Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Negra Modelo, Victoria and Pacifico in Mexico. Co. also produces and distributes soft drinks, particularly in Central and South America and Africa, and near beer products, such as the Rita family and Bon Viv Spiked Seltzer in the United States; and Palm Bay and Mike's Hard Lemonade in Canada. We show 2 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our BUD shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute BUD market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing BUD market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing BUD's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of BUD versus a peer is one thing; comparing
BUD market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like BUD can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching BUD by allowing them to research the BUD market cap history. |
