Expedia Group, Inc. is an online travel company with three segments: B2C, B2B, and trivago. The B2C segment offers travel and advertising services through brands like Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Orbitz, Travelocity, and others. The B2B segment supports travel and non-travel companies, including airlines and corporate travel management, by providing travel technology and access to Expedia's supply. The trivago segment, based in Dusseldorf, Germany, generates advertising revenue by referring users to online travel companies and service providers through its hotel metasearch websites. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our EXPE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute EXPE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing EXPE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing EXPE'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 EXPE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
EXPE 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 EXPE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching EXPE by allowing them to research the EXPE market cap history. |
