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.
Outstanding shares refer to the number of stocks that a company has issued. This number represents all the shares that can be bought and sold by the public as well as all the restricted shares that require special permission before being transacted.
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 formula for calculating the shares outstanding consists of subtracting the shares repurchased from the total shares issued to date.
