FirstCash Holdings is an operator of pawn stores as well as is a provider of retail point-of-sale (POS) payment solutions focused on serving credit-constrained consumers. Co. operates two business lines: pawn operations, which include pawn merchandise sales that are retail sales to the general public from its pawn store locations, and pawn lending activities that make pawn loans to their customers; and retail POS payment solutions, which provide the retail POS payment options of its subsidiary, American First Finance, including an lease-to-own product, a merchant-based retail installment sales agreement or a bank-originated installment loan, to facilitate payments on such transactions. We show 56 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our FCFS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute FCFS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing FCFS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing FCFS'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 FCFS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
FCFS 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 FCFS can fluctuate over the course of history.
