Vail Resorts is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. has three segments: Mountain, which operates various destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas, as well as includes ancillary services, such as ski school, dining and retail/rental operations; Lodging, which includes owned and managed lodging properties, managed condominium units, National Park Service concessioner properties, a resort ground transportation company, and Co.-owned and operated mountain resort golf courses; and Real Estate, which includes the sale of land parcels to third-party developers and planning for future real estate development projects, including zoning and acquisition of applicable permits. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our MTN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute MTN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing MTN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing MTN'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 MTN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
MTN 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 MTN can fluctuate over the course of history.
