Leaf Group is a consumer internet company that builds brands that reach audiences in lifestyle categories, including fitness and wellness and art and design. Co.'s marketplaces segment includes art and design marketplaces that serve a community of independent artists. Co.'s marketplaces allow artists to reach a global audience of art lovers and design conscious buyers, while Co. handles various marketing, promotion, and logistics, such as coordination of made-to-order production, global shipping and payment processing. Co.'s media segment consists of a portfolio of media properties that educate and inform consumers on a range of topics. We show 8 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our LEAF shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute LEAF market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing LEAF market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing LEAF'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 LEAF versus a peer is one thing; comparing
LEAF 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 LEAF can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching LEAF by allowing them to research the LEAF market cap history. |
