Boston Beer is engaged in the business of selling alcohol beverages throughout the U.S. and in selected international markets, under the trade names The Boston Beer Company®, Twisted Tea Brewing Company®, Hard Seltzer Beverage Company, Angry Orchard® Cider Company, Dogfish Head® Craft Brewery, Dogfish Head Distilling Co., Angel City® Brewing Company, Coney Island® Brewing Company and Bevy Long Drink Co. Co. produces alcohol beverages, including hard seltzer, malt beverages (beers), and hard cider at Co.-owned breweries and its cidery and under contract arrangements at other brewery locations. In addition, Co. owns an apple orchard and cidery, a restaurant and a boutique inn. We show 56 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SAM shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SAM market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SAM market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SAM'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 SAM versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SAM 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 SAM can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching SAM by allowing them to research the SAM market cap history. |
