Employers Holdings, Inc. is a holding company. Co., through its wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, Employers Insurance Co. of Nevada (EICN), Employers Compensation Insurance Co. (ECIC), Employers Preferred Insurance Co. (EPIC), Employers Assurance Co. (EAC), and Cerity Insurance Co. (CIC), is engaged in the commercial property and casualty insurance industry, specializing in workers compensation products and services, which are focused on small and select businesses engaged in low-to-medium hazard industries. We show 67 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our EIG shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute EIG market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing EIG market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing EIG'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 EIG versus a peer is one thing; comparing
EIG 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 EIG can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching EIG by allowing them to research the EIG market cap history. |
