LSB Industries is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. manufactures and markets chemical products for the agricultural, industrial and mining markets. Co.'s business manufactures products for three principal markets: Agricultural Markets, which include ammonia, fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate (AN) and urea ammonia nitrate; Industrial Markets, which include high purity and commercial grade ammonia, high purity AN, sulfuric acids, concentrated, blended and regular nitric acid, mixed nitrating acids, carbon dioxide, and diesel exhaust fluid; and Mining Markets, which include industrial grade AN and AN solutions. We show 59 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our LXU shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute LXU market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing LXU market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing LXU'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 LXU versus a peer is one thing; comparing
LXU 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 LXU can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching LXU by allowing them to research the LXU market cap history. |
