| About Southwest Airlines Co |
| Southwest Airlines Co. (Southwest) operates Southwest Airlines, a passenger airline that provides scheduled air transportation in the U.S. and near-international markets. Co.'s fare products include four categories: Wanna Get Away, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, and Business Select to provide customers options when choosing a fare. It offers ancillary services, such as EarlyBird Check-In, Upgraded Boarding, and transportation of pets and unaccompanied minors, in accordance with Southwest's respective policies. EarlyBird Check-In provides customers with automatic check-in and an assigned boarding position before general boarding positions become available. We show 66 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our LUV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute LUV market cap on those dates. Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing share price, and the resulting changing LUV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors interested in comparing LUV'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 LUV versus a peer is one thing; comparing LUV 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 LUV can fluctuate over the course of history. With this page we aim to empower investors researching LUV by allowing them to research the LUV market cap history. |
