The company has four segments: Domestic Company-owned restaurants, North America commissaries with 11 regional dough production and distribution centers, North America franchising for franchise sales and support, and International operations focusing on distribution sales and franchise support in the UK. Papa John's operates around 5,906 restaurants, including 648 Company-owned and 5,258 franchised locations in 50 countries and territories. We show 64 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PZZA shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PZZA market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing PZZA market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing PZZA'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 PZZA versus a peer is one thing; comparing
PZZA 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 PZZA can fluctuate over the course of history.
