Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust. Co. is engaged in the business of owning, managing and developing retail shopping centers. Co.'s primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers it owns or leases. Co. also provides property management services to either joint ventures where Co. is partners or other outside owners. Co.'s centers are designed to accept local area customers and are anchored by a supermarket or other national tenants (such as Kroger, HEB or T.J. Maxx). The centers are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers that often include discounters, retailers and specialty grocers as additional anchors or tenants. We show 46 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our WRI shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute WRI market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing WRI market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing WRI'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 WRI versus a peer is one thing; comparing
WRI 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 WRI can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching WRI by allowing them to research the WRI market cap history. |
