Papa Murphy's Holding is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a franchisor and operator of Take 'N' Bake pizza chains. Co.'s main menu offerings include: Signature pizzas, which include classic combinations with appeal; Gourmet Delite pizzas: which are its thin crust pizzas; Stuffed pizzas, which are two-layer, four-pound pizzas with meats and vegetables stuffed in two layers of dough; Fresh Pan pizza, which features pizzas with a thick, buttery crust; and Create Your Own pizzas, which comprise a customer selection of crust, sauce and any combination of its cheese, meat and vegetable toppings. As of Jan 1 2018, Co. and its franchise owners operated 1,523 stores. We show 20 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our FRSH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute FRSH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing FRSH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing FRSH'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 FRSH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
FRSH 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 FRSH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching FRSH by allowing them to research the FRSH market cap history. |
