DISH Network is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. operates two primary business segments: Pay-TV and Wireless. Co. provides pay-TV services under the DISH® brand and the SLING® brand. Co. also designs, develops and distributes receiver systems and provides digital broadcast operations. Co. provides prepaid and postpaid retail wireless services to subscribers under its Boost Mobile, Ting Mobile, Republic Wireless and Gen Mobile brands, as well as a portfolio of wireless devices. Co. also invests to acquire wireless spectrum licenses. These wireless spectrum licenses are subject to certain interim and final build-out requirements, as well as certain renewal requirements. We show 53 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DISH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DISH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DISH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DISH'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 DISH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DISH 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 DISH can fluctuate over the course of history.
