Share count change, last filing (Shares chg q)
How much the filed share count changed between the two most recent filings.
An annual average cannot see a raise that closed in March; two quarterly covers can.
How it is computed here
(Newer count - earlier count, on the newer count's share basis) / earlier count x 100
Combines more than one basis. See the note. Two filed cover-page counts, the earlier put on the later one's share basis by the confirmed splits between them. 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
- A reverse split is not a buyback: the earlier count is restated by the split first.
- A fall too large to be a buyback with no split on record is not published at all.
