Central Garden & Pet is a producer and distributor of branded and private label products for the lawn and garden and pet supplies markets in the U.S. Co. manages its operations through two reportable segments: Pet, which includes pet supplies categories such as dog and cat supplies, dog treats and chews, aquatics and reptile supplies, small animal and pet bird supplies, animal health products, live fish and small animals as well as outdoor cushions; and Garden, which includes lawn and garden consumables product lines such as grass seed, vegetable, herb and flower packet seed, wild bird products, insect control products, lawn and garden care products including fertilizers and live plants. We show 54 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our CENT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute CENT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing CENT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing CENT'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 CENT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
CENT 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 CENT can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching CENT by allowing them to research the CENT market cap history. |
