Red Lion Hotels is a hospitality and leisure company primarily engaged in the franchising and ownership of hotels under the following brands: Hotel RL, Red Lion Hotels, Red Lion Inn & Suites, GuestHouse, Settle Inn, Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, Signature and Signature Inn, Knights Inn, and Country Hearth Inns & Suites. Co. operates in two segments: franchised hotels, which is engaged primarily in licensing Co.'s brands to franchisees, and Co. provides hotel owners the use of its brand and access to its marketing and central services programs; and the company operated hotel, which provides guest room rentals and food and beverage offerings at owned and leased hotels. We show 44 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our RLH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute RLH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing RLH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing RLH'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 RLH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
RLH 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 RLH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching RLH by allowing them to research the RLH market cap history. |
