Shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares repurchased. Shares outstanding = Authorised shares - Treasury stock.
A publicly-traded company can directly influence how many shares it has outstanding. The company can increase or decrease the number of shares outstanding by issuing new shares or via share repurchases (buybacks).
You can calculate outstanding shares by subtracting treasury stock (shares that are held by the company) from the total number of shares authorized for sale (shares issued). Treasury shares plus outstanding shares equal the total number of shares issued.
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.
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.
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).
Issued Shares vs. Outstanding Shares Issued shares represent all the stock a company has issued. Outstanding shares, meanwhile, are the shares circulating in the market owned by investors and available for them to trade. Often, the number of issued and outstanding shares will be the same.
A company's outstanding shares can fluctuate for a number of reasons. The number increases if the company issues additional shares. Companies typically issue shares when they raise capital through equity financing or when they exercise employee stock options (ESOs) or other financial instruments.
Shares outstanding is the total number of shares issued and actively held by stockholders. Floating stock subtracts closely held shares from the total shares outstanding to provide a view of active shares available to trade. Floating stock numbers and shares outstanding are used to calculate market capitalization.
