The firm's balance sheet includes outstanding shares. Shareholders' equity includes total authorized shares and total outstanding shares. Companies generally post the number of outstanding shares on their websites in the investor relations section, and can also be found on stock exchange websites.
Because issued shares refers to the total number of shares a company has created, and treasury shares refers to shares that have been issued but bought back, subtracting these two numbers results in the number of outstanding shares.
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.
The basic number of shares outstanding is simply the current number of shares available on the secondary market. On the other hand, the fully diluted shares outstanding calculation takes into account diluting securities such as convertibles (warrants, options, preferred shares, etc.).
The outstanding shares figure is useful to know for an investor that is contemplating buying shares in a company. Dividing the number of shares to be purchased by the number of shares outstanding reveals the percentage of ownership that the investor will have in the business after the shares have been purchased.
Shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares repurchased. Shares outstanding = Authorised shares - Treasury stock.
Total outstanding is the amount that customers owe to the company as on date. It is calculated by deducting the total credit amounts from the total debit amount. Calculation: Total Outstanding = (Total Debit amount as on date) - (Total Credit amount as on date).
Let's look again at our Company XYZ. We know from the previous example that the company has 1,000 authorized shares. If it offered 300 shares in an IPO, gave 150 to the executives, and retained 550 in the treasury, the number of shares outstanding would be 450 shares or 300 float shares + 150 restricted shares.
A quick and easy way on how to find outstanding shares is to use the outstanding shares formula. Outstanding shares are found by taking the total amount of issued stock and subtracting the number of treasury shares.
