Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market information
Our common stock has traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ULTA” since October 25, 2007. The timing, declaration, and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition and results of operations, the capital requirements of our businesses, industry practice, and any other relevant factors.
Holders of the registrant’s common stock
The last reported sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 23, 2026 was $524.15 per share. As of March 23, 2026, we had 25 holders of record of our common stock. Because many shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.
