Aramark is a global provider of food and facilities services to education, healthcare, business and industry and sports, leisure, and corrections clients. Co. operates through two segments: Food and Support Services U.S. (FSS U.S.) and Food and Support Services International (FSS International). The FSS U.S. segment consists of five sectors, which include business and industry, education, healthcare, sports, leisure and corrections and facilities and others. Co. provides food and beverage services, including catering and retail services, and facilities services, including plant operations and maintenance, custodial, housekeeping, landscaping and other services. We show 47 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ARMK shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ARMK market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ARMK market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ARMK'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 ARMK versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ARMK 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 ARMK can fluctuate over the course of history.
