SpartanNash Co. is a food solutions company. It is engaged in distributing grocery products to a diverse group of independent and chain retailers, its corporate-owned retail stores, and U.S. military commissaries and exchanges; as well as operating a fresh produce distribution network and its Family private label brand. Co. has two segments. Wholesale segment uses a multichannel sales approach to distribute national brands and its own private-branded products to independent retailers, national accounts, food service distributors, e-commerce providers, and its corporate-owned retail stores. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SPTN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SPTN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SPTN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SPTN'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 SPTN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SPTN 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 SPTN can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching SPTN by allowing them to research the SPTN market cap history. |
