TripAdvisor operates a travel guidance platform that connects a global audience of travelers with travel partners through content, price comparison tools, and online reservation and related services for destinations, accommodations, travel activities and experiences, and restaurants. In addition to the Tripadvisor brand, Co. owns and operates a portfolio of travel media brands and businesses, operating under various websites. Co.'s Rentals offering provides information and services that allow travelers to research and book vacation and short-term rental properties, including full homes, condominiums, villas, beach properties, cabins and cottages. We show 48 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our TRIP shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute TRIP market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing Tripadvisor market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing Tripadvisor'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 Tripadvisor versus a peer is one thing; comparing
Tripadvisor 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 Tripadvisor can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching Tripadvisor by allowing them to research the Tripadvisor market cap history. |
