The The 3 Year Compound Annual Growth Rate in Shares Outstanding shows how quickly a company has been growing its number of Shares Outstanding. This is measured as a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past 3 years.
This is a measure of equity dilution. When the number of shares outstanding increases, each existing stockholder will own a smaller, or diluted, percentage of the company, making each share less valuable.
An increase in the number of shares outstanding can result from a placement, employees exercising stock, or by conversion of convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants into shares.
If a company has been buying back shares, this number will be negative.
