The Children's Place is a children's apparel retailer in North America. Co. designs, contracts to manufacture, sells at retail and wholesale, and licenses to sell primarily under the proprietary The Children's Place, Place, Baby Place, Gymboree and Sugar and Jade brand names. Co.'s physical stores provide a shopping environment, segmented into departments that serve the wardrobe needs of girls and boys, toddler girls and boys, and baby. Co.'s merchandise is also available online at www.childrensplace.com, www.gymboree.com and www.sugarandjade.com. Co. reports segment data based on geography: The Children's Place U.S. and The Children's Place International. We show 56 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PLCE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PLCE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PLCE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PLCE'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 PLCE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PLCE 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 PLCE can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching PLCE by allowing them to research the PLCE market cap history. |
