Vanguard Index Funds - Vanguard Value ETF is an open-end management investment company. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. As of Dec 31 2013, the Fund's investments portfolio was valued at $28,616,456,000. We show 55 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our VTV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute VTV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing VTV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing VTV'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 VTV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
VTV 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 VTV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching VTV by allowing them to research the VTV market cap history. |
