Concepts: dividends = PaymentsOfDividendsCommonStock; sbc = AllocatedShareBasedCompensationExpense; issuance = ProceedsFromIssuanceOfCommonStock; diluted_shares = WeightedAverageNumberOfDilutedSharesOutstanding.
Price paid per share
What AWK paid on average for each share it bought back, each fiscal year: dollars spent divided by shares bought, both from the 10-K.
| Fiscal year to | Shares bought | Spent | Average price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019-12-31 | 400K | $36.0M | $90.00 | |
| 2018-12-31 | 600K | $45.0M | $75.00 | |
| 2017-12-31 | 700K | $54.0M | $77.14 | |
| 2016-12-31 | 1.00M | $65.0M | $65.00 | |
| 2015-12-31 | 2.30M | $126.0M | $54.78 |
Shares and dollars from the statement of shareholders' equity (the cash flow line also counts shares withheld for taxes, so it is not used). Share counts filed before a stock split are put on today's count. A year where the 10-K does not tag both numbers is left out. The latest year with both numbers tagged is 2019.
