Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is a global hotel franchisor, licensing its hotel brands to hotel owners in various countries around the world. Co. operates in the following segments: Hotel Franchising, which licenses Co.'s lodging brands and provides related services to third-party hotel owners and others; and Hotel Management, which provides hotel management services for full-service and limited-service hotels as well as several hotels that are owned by Co. We show 26 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our WH shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute WH market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing WH market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing WH'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 WH versus a peer is one thing; comparing
WH 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 WH can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching WH by allowing them to research the WH market cap history. |
