From the XBRL of the 10-Ks (cash flow statement and diluted weighted average shares); each year as reported in the latest 10-K that includes it. Concepts: buybacks = PaymentsForRepurchaseOfCommonStock; dividends = PaymentsOfOrdinaryDividends; sbc = ShareBasedCompensation; issuance = ProceedsFromStockOptionsExercised; diluted_shares = WeightedAverageNumberOfDilutedSharesOutstanding.
Price paid per share
What GLW 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-12-31 | 197.10M | $4.2B | $21.53 | |
| 2015-12-31 | 167.00M | $3.2B | $19.33 |
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 2016.
