Relationship: Market Cap = Shares Outstanding × Stock Price

Key concepts:

  • Float shares: Shares available for public trading
  • Dilution: When new shares are issued, existing shareholders own less
  • Buybacks: Reduce share count, increasing EPS and ownership stake
  • Stock splits: Increase share count but don't change market cap

Shares Outstanding Formula & Definition

Shares Outstanding represents the reported weighted average share count used for per-share metrics. Changes in share count affect EPS and ownership dilution.
