United Parks & Resorts Inc. is a theme park and entertainment company. Co. owns or licenses a portfolio of recognized brands, including SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Water Country USA, Adventure Island and Sesame Place. It has developed a portfolio of approximately 13 differentiated theme parks that are grouped in markets across the U.S. and Abu Dhabi. Many of its theme parks showcase the Co.'s zoological collection and feature a diverse array of both thrill and family-friendly rides, educational presentations, shows and/or other attractions with demographic appeal. We show 7 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PRKS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PRKS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PRKS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PRKS'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 PRKS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PRKS 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 PRKS can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching PRKS by allowing them to research the PRKS market cap history. |
