Host Hotels & Resorts operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, with its operations conducted solely through Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. Co. has hotels located in the U.S. (various hotels are located in Brazil and Canada). In addition, Co. owns non-controlling interests in various domestic and international joint ventures that primarily own hotels. Co. also owns non-controlling interests in a timeshare joint venture in Hawaii and in a joint venture that owns an asset management business. We show 60 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HST shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HST market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HST market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HST'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 HST versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HST 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 HST can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching HST by allowing them to research the HST market cap history. |
