Stock Scorer

Shares change

Change in diluted share count

One of the 64 measures in Stock Scorer, under Growth — Is the business getting bigger, and is it getting more profitable?

How it is worked out

Change in the diluted share count over a year

Positive means shares were issued and each existing share owns a little less of the company; negative means net buybacks. Stock splits are detected and divided out first, so a split is not read as issuance.

How to read it

low is good; a negative reading is net buyback. Partly inside the revenue measures already, which are per share — this isolates the share count on its own
