FAQ
What needs to happen to buy shares? To buy shares in a company either an existing shareholder has to give up or sell their shares, or the company will need to create new shares. However, the creation of new shares will impact the shares already in existence as the total always has to be 100%.
The number of shares outstanding is listed on a company's balance sheet as "Capital Stock" and is reported on the company's quarterly filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The number of shares outstanding can also be found in the capital section of a company's annual report.
Your shares determine your percentage of ownership. The ownership of a company limited by shares is divided into shares. Each share represents a portion (i.e. a percentage) of the company. Therefore, when you own a share, you own a percentage of the company.
The number of shares outstanding of a company can be found in its quarterly or annual filings (10-Qs or 10-Ks). However, due to the fluctuations in share counts between reporting periods, the figure is typically expressed as a weighted average.
A publicly traded company's total number of shares outstanding can usually be found on their investor relations webpage, on stock exchanges' websites, or in the shareholder's equity section on a company's balance sheet as filed with an authorized information service like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Companies typically begin to issue shares in their stock through a process called an initial public offering, or IPO. (You can learn more about IPOs in our guide.) Once a company's stock is on the stock market, it can be bought and sold among investors.
