Southern First Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company. Co.'s primary business is to serve as the holding company for Southern First Bank (the Bank). The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of accepting demand deposits and savings deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC), and providing commercial, consumer and mortgage loans to the general public. Co., through the Bank, provides a range of financial services to individuals and companies in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.

We show 64 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SFST shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SFST market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SFST market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SFST'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 SFST versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SFST 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 SFST can fluctuate over the course of history.
