Shares Outstanding

Category: Shares

Data Type: Double Precision Floating Point

Description

The unadjusted number of publicly held shares on NYSE, Amex, NASDAQ, and NYSE Arca exchanges, recorded in 1000s. This figure represents the actual, undiluted value.

The Shares Outstanding Observations Array contains observation events and cannot be used to directly find the shares outstanding each calendar period. Utility functions and programs are available to map observations to time series to calculate market capitalization. If there is no time series data over a time period, but the security has a Shares Outstanding value, the last valid Shares Outstanding value has been carried over.
