YUM! Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries franchise or operate a system of approximately 58,000 restaurants in 155 countries and territories under the concepts of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and The Habit Burger Grill. It consists of four operating segments: The KFC Division, which includes its worldwide operations of the KFC concept; The Taco Bell Division, which includes its worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept; The Pizza Hut Division, which includes its worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept and The Habit Burger Grill Division, which includes its worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept. We show 64 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our YUM shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute YUM market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing YUM market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing YUM'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 YUM versus a peer is one thing; comparing
YUM 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 YUM can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching YUM by allowing them to research the YUM market cap history. |
