Outstanding shares are all the shares issued and sold by a company that are not held by the company itself. Outstanding shares include a company's common stock held by individual investors, institutional investors and restricted shares held by company officers and insiders.
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.
The number of outstanding shares is also in the capital section of a company's annual report. The number of issued and outstanding shares, which is used to calculate market capitalization and earnings per share, are often the same.
A publicly traded company's total number of shares outstanding can usually be found on exchange platforms and in the shareholder's equity section of the company balance sheet.
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.
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.
Following are the formulas you can use to calculate the shares outstanding of a firm: Shares outstanding = Floating stock + Restricted shares. Shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares repurchased. Shares outstanding = Authorised shares - Treasury stock.
