At Home Group is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a home decor superstore. Co.'s product mix includes home furnishings, which generally consists of accent furniture, furniture, mirrors, patio cushions, rugs and wall art. Accent decor generally consists of artificial flowers and trees, bath, bedding, candles, garden and outdoor decor, holiday accessories, home organization, pillows, pottery, vases and window treatments. Co. operates stores in the South Central, Southeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the U.S. We show 21 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HOME shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HOME market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HOME market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HOME'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 HOME versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HOME 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 HOME can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching HOME by allowing them to research the HOME market cap history. |
