Northern Technologies International develops and markets products and services either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. Co.'s primary business is corrosion prevention products and services, marketed mainly under the ZERUST® brand. Co. is selling its proprietary ZERUST® products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets and has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. Additionally, Co. markets and sells a portfolio of proprietary bio-based and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec® brand. We show 59 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our NTIC shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute NTIC market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing NTIC market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing NTIC'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 NTIC versus a peer is one thing; comparing
NTIC 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 NTIC can fluctuate over the course of history.
