Dorman Products, Inc. is a supplier of replacement and upgrade parts in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, serving passenger cars, light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks, as well as specialty vehicles, including utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Co. is an aftermarket supplier of parts that are traditionally available to professional installers and consumers only from original equipment manufacturers or salvage yards. These parts include leaf springs, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, window regulators, radiator fan assemblies, tire pressure monitor sensors, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers, UTV windshields, and complex electronics modules. We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DORM shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DORM market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DORM market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DORM'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 DORM versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DORM 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 DORM can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DORM by allowing them to research the DORM market cap history. |
