Global Shares Outstanding Data.

Overview: Our data includes both official and adjusted shares outstanding for listed equities from around the world. We source official figures from stock exchanges, regulatory authorities, and the listing companies.

Because corporate actions may occur between official updates and have an important impact on the number of shares outstanding, we offer an additional feed of adjusted values. After a corporate action event, we adjust the figures and then revert to the official figures once they have been published.

Coverage: Our data covers global equities from over 120 countries.

History: The amount of history varies by exchange.

Updates: We update our official data as soon as new figures have been made available by the official source. The frequency of the official updates varies by exchange, ranging from daily to annually. We update our shares outstanding that have been adjusted for corporate actions on a daily basis.

Delivery: You can receive our data in bulk files via download, S3 to S3, on-demand via API, or via your web browser.

License Terms: We license our data for either your internal use only or for display/redistribution to your clients. Unlike other data providers, DIH does not have purge clauses – so if you ever stop receiving data from us, you do not have to a ransom to keep the data you’ve already received and for which you’ve paid.

Pricing: Several inputs go into the pricing for our data. For example, do you want data for all available countries or a subset? How much history do you want? Do you want updates going forward? Contact us to learn more.

Accurately Calculate Market Cap, EPS, and More with Our Data.

The number of shares outstanding, shown on a company’s balance sheet under the heading “capital stock”, is used to calculate key metrics including market capitalization figures, earnings per share (EPS), and share stakes for portfolio holdings levels and regulatory reporting requirements.

It is critical to have complete and accurate data. Beyond just the official figures, you need to account for corporate actions that may occur between official updates and have an important impact on the number of shares outstanding.

Institutional market participants choose to source such data from DIH because we have the broad global coverage they need, and provide quality data via a reliable service.

What’s Included in Our Data.

DIH’s shares outstanding data is comprised of two data sets:

We adjust shares outstanding based upon the following types of corporate actions:

  • Bonus Issue
  • Bonus Rights
  • Buyback
