Party City Holdco is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a supplier of decorated party goods. Co. has two identifiable business segments. The Wholesale segment designs, manufactures, contracts for manufacture and distributes party goods, including paper and plastic tableware, metallic and latex balloons, Halloween and other costumes, accessories, novelties and stationery throughout the world. The Retail segment operates retail party supply stores in the U.S, principally under the names Party City and Halloween City, and it operates e-commerce websites, principally through the domain name PartyCity.com. We show 31 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PRTY shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PRTY market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PRTY market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PRTY'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 PRTY versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PRTY 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 PRTY can fluctuate over the course of history.
