Per Share

What is Diluted Shares?

The average number of shares during the period, including shares that options and convertibles could add.

How it is calculated

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding as reported.

How to read it

A falling count means buybacks are outpacing new grants; a rising count dilutes every existing shareholder.

Keep in mind

Per-share figures are as reported in each filing and are not adjusted for later stock splits, so values before a split look larger.

Where the numbers come from

Scrutar computes Diluted Shares from the figures each company reports to the SEC in its annual and quarterly filings, using the XBRL data attached to those filings.
