Dole PLC is engaged in the sourcing, processing, distributing and marketing of fresh fruit and vegetables. Co.'s segments include Fresh Fruit, Diversified Fresh Produce-EMEA and Diversified Fresh Produce-Americas & ROW. The Fresh Fruit segment sells bananas and pineapples, which are sourced from local growers or Co.-owned and leased farms, predominately located in Latin America, and sold throughout North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. The Diversified Fresh Produce-EMEA segment sells a variety of imported and local fresh fruits and vegetables through retail, wholesale and, in some instances, food service channels across the European marketplace. We show 1 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DOLE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DOLE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DOLE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DOLE'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 DOLE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DOLE 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 DOLE can fluctuate over the course of history.
