Question

How do you determine the number shares of a stock traded when ending a stock report?

Answer 1

Of these terms, the two that you need in order to determine the number of outstanding shares are issued shares, and treasury shares. Because issued shares refers to the total number of shares a company has created, and treasury shares refers to shares that have been issued but bought back, subtracting these two numbers results in the number of outstanding shares. Generally, both of these figures can be found on a company's balance sheet.
