German American Bancorp is a financial holding company. Through its banking subsidiaries, Co. operates the following business segments are: core banking, which involves accepting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial and agricultural, commercial and agricultural real estate, and residential mortgage loans; wealth management services, which involves providing trust, investment advisory, brokerage and retirement planning services; and insurance operations, which provides a range of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products, primarily in Co.'s banking subsidiary's local markets. We show 50 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our GABC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute GABC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing GABC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing GABC'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 GABC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
GABC 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 GABC can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching GABC by allowing them to research the GABC market cap history. |
