Hudson is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a travel concession operator. Co. operates retail concepts across its retail locations, including: Travel Essentials and Convenience Stores, which provide an assortment of products to the travelling public; Duty-Free Stores, which provide retail products for travelers on a duty-free and duty-paid basis; Electronics Stores, which provide electronics products and electronics accessory brands; Bookstores, which provide bestsellers and new releases; Themed Stores, which provide a product range relating to a theme rather than a specific product category; and Food Outlets, which operate stand-alone food and beverage outlets. We show 4 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HUD shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HUD market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HUD market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HUD'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 HUD versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HUD 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 HUD can fluctuate over the course of history.
