Weighted average number of shares = shares outstanding at start of year + shares at end of year / 2
no
The number is obtained by dividing a financial year into sub-periods based on the number of times the number of outstanding shares changes during the year. If it has changed five times, there will be 5 sub-periods. After that, you have to multiply the corresponding fraction of the fiscal year by the number of shares outstanding in that portion of the year. The sum of all the subtotals is a weighted average of outstanding shares. See the link below for an example
- By generating GAAP earnings and not paying them as dividends - the retained earnings will increase. - By selling and increasing outstanding number of shares - the paid in capital will increase.
You take the amount of shares that a company has (outstanding) and divide it by the amount of income the company made - be it a quarter or over a year.
Number of shares held by investors for a company. For instance, if a company goes public and issues 100,000 shares, then the number of shares outstanding is 100,000. This number can be found on the balance sheet of a company!
A 'share buy back' is the main option in which a company can reduce the amount of outstanding shares. A company will purchase shares on the open market or work out a deal to buy shares from individual holders, and then retire the shares.
Issued Shares: The number of shares that has ever been sold to and held by the shareholders of a company. Includes stock that has been repurchased by the company. Does NOT include shares that have been retired.Outstanding Shares: Stock currently held by investors. Does NOT include stock that has been repurchased by the company..If either no shares have ever been repurchased or if all repurchased shares have been retired then Outstanding shares = Issued Shares.
Currently the company has 5,052,338,040 shares outstanding and 10,000,000,000 authorized.
SEC Form 10-k, which all public companies must file, shows the number of outstanding shares.
To calculate the market cap of a particular company take the total number of outstanding shares times the current share price.Example:A company with 24 million outstanding shares trading at $10 a share = A company with a market cap of 240 million dollars.
Shareholders funds (also known as Equity) represent the book value of the company. For example, if a company has assets of $10MM and liabilities of $6MM, the book value of the company is $10MM - $6MM = $4MM. Book value per share is computed by dividing the book value of the company by the number of outstanding shares. For example, if the number of outstanding shares is 400,000, the book value per share is $10.

True
Companies offer a privilege to repurchase its own shares from the shareholders with higher price comparing to the market. A program by which a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace, reducing the number of outstanding shares, because a share repurchase reduces the number of shares outstanding (i.e. supply), it increases earnings per share and tends to elevate the market value of the remaining shares.
