Fox is a news, sports and entertainment company. Co. has three segments: Cable Network Programming, which consists of the production and licensing of news and sports content distributed primarily through cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators and telecommunication companies and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S.; Television, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes programming through the FOX broadcast network, AVOD service TUBI, 29 full power broadcast television stations, including duopolies, and other digital platforms; and Other, Corporate and Eliminations, which includes FOX Studio Lot that provides television and film production services. We show 16 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our FOX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute FOX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing FOX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing FOX'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 FOX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
FOX 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 FOX can fluctuate over the course of history.
