Dine Brands Global owns, franchises and operates the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar® (Applebee's) concept in the bar and grill segment within the casual dining category of the restaurant industry and owns and franchises the International House of Pancakes® (IHOP) concept in the family dining category of the restaurant industry. Applebee's menu features a selection of grill and bar fare, such as appetizers, bar snacks, burgers, pasta entrees and lighter fare, as well as cocktails, beers and desserts. IHOP restaurants feature table service and food and beverage offerings in a family atmosphere. The restaurants are known for pancakes. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DIN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DIN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DIN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DIN'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 DIN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DIN 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 DIN can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DIN by allowing them to research the DIN market cap history. |
