About Costco Wholesale Corp |
Costco Wholesale is principally engaged in the operation of membership warehouses. Co. operates membership warehouses and e-commerce websites based on the concept that providing its members low prices on a selection of branded and private-label products in a range of categories. Co. provides merchandise and services, which include food and sundries, non-foods, fresh foods, warehouse ancillary, and other business. Co.'s other businesses sell products and services that complement its warehouse operations (main and warehouse ancillary businesses). Co. provides other services online in certain countries such as business delivery, travel, same-day grocery, and various other services. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our COST shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute COST market cap on those dates. Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing share price, and the resulting changing COST market cap history over the course of time is important for investors interested in comparing COST'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 COST versus a peer is one thing; comparing COST 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 COST can fluctuate over the course of history. With this page we aim to empower investors researching COST by allowing them to research the COST market cap history. |
