J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. is a surface transportation, delivery, and logistics company in North America. Co., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, provides a range of transportation, brokerage, and delivery services to a diverse group of customers and consumers throughout the continental U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It operates through five segments: Intermodal (JBI), Dedicated Contract Services (DCS), Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS), Final Mile Services (FMS) and Truckload (JBT). JBI segment includes freight that is transported by rail over at least some portion of the movement and also includes certain repositioning truck freight moved by JBI equipment or third-party carriers. We show 61 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our JBHT shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute JBHT market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing JBHT market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing JBHT'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 JBHT versus a peer is one thing; comparing
JBHT 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 JBHT can fluctuate over the course of history.
