Domino's Pizza is a pizza company. Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the following business activities: retail sales of food through Co.-owned Domino's Pizza stores; sales of food, equipment and supplies to Co.-owned and franchised Domino's Pizza stores through Co.-owned supply chain centers; receipt of royalties, advertising contributions and fees from U.S. Domino's Pizza franchisees; and receipt of royalties and fees from international Domino's Pizza franchisees. Co. operates, and reports, three business segments: U.S. stores, international franchise and supply chain. We show 46 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our DPZ shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute DPZ market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing DPZ market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing DPZ'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 DPZ versus a peer is one thing; comparing
DPZ 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 DPZ can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching DPZ by allowing them to research the DPZ market cap history. |
