Brinker International, Inc. is a casual dining restaurant company. Co. owns, develops, operates and franchises the Chili's Grill & Bar (Chili's) and Maggiano's Little Italy (Maggiano's) restaurant brands. Co. operates through two segments: Chili's and Maggiano's. The Chili's segment includes its Co.-owned Chili's restaurants, which are principally located in the U.S., within the full-service casual dining segment of the industry. The Chili's segment also includes its Canadian Co.-owned restaurants and royalties from its franchised locations in the U.S., 27 other countries and two U.S. territories. We show 59 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our EAT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute EAT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing EAT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing EAT'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 EAT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
EAT 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 EAT can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching EAT by allowing them to research the EAT market cap history. |
