Vertex Energy is an environmental services company that recycles industrial waste streams and off-specification commercial chemical products. Co. operates in three segments: Black Oil, which collects and purchases used motor oil directly from third-party generators, aggregates used motor oil from a network of local and regional collectors, and sells used motor oil to its customers; Refining and Marketing, which aggregates and manages the re-refinement of used motor oil and other petroleum by-products and sells the re-refined products to end customers; and Recovery, which includes a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our VTNR shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute VTNR market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing VTNR market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing VTNR'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 VTNR versus a peer is one thing; comparing
VTNR 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 VTNR can fluctuate over the course of history.
