Co. operates in two segments: Subscription Business and Other Business. The Subscription Business segment includes subscription fees related to the Co.'s direct-to-consumer products. The Other Business segment comprises of other product offerings that generally have a business-to-business relationship and a different margin profile than its subscription segment, including writing policies on behalf of third parties and other products and software solutions. We show 44 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our TRUP shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute TRUP market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing TRUP market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing TRUP'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 TRUP versus a peer is one thing; comparing
TRUP 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 TRUP can fluctuate over the course of history.
