Form with which a corporation may alter the amount of outstanding shares issued by the corporation.
1) Companies usually disclose the number of shares outstanding in their financial statements, such as their balance sheet or income statement. 2) Most companies have an investor relations section on their website which provides information on the number of shares outstanding.
Shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares repurchased. Shares outstanding = Authorised shares - Treasury stock.
To calculate the weighted average of outstanding shares, take the number of outstanding shares and multiply the portion of the reporting period those shares covered; do this for each portion and then add the totals together.
Investors can find the total number of outstanding shares a company has on its balance sheet. Outstanding shares can also be used to calculate some key financial metrics, including a company's market cap and its earnings per share. They are separate from treasury shares, which are held by the company itself.
