Value Line is engaged in producing investment periodicals and its underlying research and making available certain of its copyrights, its trademarks and its Proprietary Ranks and other proprietary information, to third parties under written agreements for use in third-party managed and marketed investment products and for other purposes. Co. markets under brands including Value Line®, the Value Line logo®, The Value Line Investment Survey®, Smart Research, Smarter Investing™ and The Most Trusted Name in Investment Research®. The investment periodicals and related publications provided by Value Line Publishing LLC, a wholly-owned entity of Co., cover a range of investments. We show 61 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our VALU shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute VALU market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing VALU market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing VALU'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 VALU versus a peer is one thing; comparing
VALU 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 VALU can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching VALU by allowing them to research the VALU market cap history. |
