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.
Are More Shares Outstanding Good or Bad? Shares outstanding is just the amount of all the company's stock that's in the hands of its stockholders. By itself, it is not intrinsically good or bad.
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.
Shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares repurchased. Shares outstanding = Authorised shares - Treasury stock.
How to Derive Outstanding Shares Go to the balance sheet of the company in question and look in the shareholders' equity section, which is near the bottom of the report. Look in the line item for preferred stock. Look in the line item for common stock. Look in the line item for treasury stock.
Key Takeaways Shares outstanding refer to a company's stock currently held by all its shareholders. These include share blocks held by institutional investors and restricted shares owned by the company's officers and insiders. A company's number of shares outstanding is not static and may fluctuate wildly over time.
