Weighted Average Basic & Diluted Shares Outstanding
"Weighted Average Basic & Diluted Shares Outstanding" is a financial metric that calculates the average number of basic and diluted shares that were outstanding during a particular period of time. Basic shares are the total number of shares issued by a company, while diluted shares include any potential additional shares that could be issued, such as through stock options or convertible bonds. The weighted average takes into account the varying number of shares outstanding in each period, and reflects any changes due to new shares being issued or repurchased by the company. This metric is important because it is used to calculate a company's earnings per share (EPS), which is often used as a key indicator of a company's financial health and future growth potential.
