How many shares of stock are outstanding?
The number of shares outstanding for a company is equal to the number of shares issued minus the number of shares held in the company’s treasury. If a company buys back its own stock, those repurchased shares are called treasury stock. The number of shares outstanding can (and usually does) fluctuate over time.
Outstanding shares are shown on a company’s balance sheet under the heading “Capital Stock.” The number of outstanding shares is used in calculating key metrics such as a company’s market capitalization, as well as its earnings per share (EPS) and cash flow per share (CFPS).
