Percentages above are of 14,162,000 shares outstanding, as reported by HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS HOLDING CO. on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR).

Shares outstanding are taken from HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS HOLDING CO.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
