Winnebago Industries is a manufacturer of recreation vehicles (RVs) and marine products with a portfolio used primarily in leisure travel and outdoor recreational activities. Co.'s segments are: Towable RV, which is a non-motorized vehicle that is designed to be towed by automobiles, pickup trucks, SUVs, or vans and is used as temporary living quarters during vacation and camping trips, or to support active and mobile lifestyles; Motorhome RV, which is a self-propelled mobile dwelling used as temporary living quarters during vacation and camping trips, or to support active and mobile lifestyles; and Marine, which manufactures and sells boats under its Chris-Craft and Barletta brands. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our WGO shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute WGO market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing WGO market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing WGO'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 WGO versus a peer is one thing; comparing
WGO 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 WGO can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching WGO by allowing them to research the WGO market cap history. |
