Sally Beauty Holdings is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is an international specialty retailer and distributor of beauty supplies. Co. operates two business segments, Sally Beauty Supply (SBS) and Beauty Systems Group (BSG), that provide beauty products in primary categories, including hair care, hair color, styling tools and nails. SBS is an omni-channel retailer that provides beauty supplies and provides education to retail consumers and salon personnel throughout North America, South America and Europe. BSG is a full-service omni-channel distributor that provides beauty supplies to salons and salon personnel throughout the U.S. and Canada. We show 54 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SBH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SBH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SBH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SBH'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 SBH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SBH 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 SBH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching SBH by allowing them to research the SBH market cap history. |
