Share count change over a year (Shares chg 1y)
How much the filed share count changed against the filing nearest a year earlier.
It is the dilution a holder of a year actually took, measured between two dated counts.
How it is computed here
(Newest count - count about a year earlier, on one share basis) / earlier count x 100
Combines more than one basis. See the note. Two filed counts about a year apart, on one share basis. The span actually measured is stated beside the figure. Filed under risk. Lower is the stronger reading, other things equal.
No published threshold exists for this figure, so this page prints none. Read it against the company's own history and its peers instead.
When it misleads
- The span is the one between two real filings, stated beside the figure, not exactly 365 days.
- A reverse split is restated first and never read as a buyback.
