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 = PaymentsOfDividendsCommonStock; sbc = ShareBasedCompensation; issuance = ProceedsFromIssuanceOfCommonStock; diluted_shares = WeightedAverageNumberOfDilutedSharesOutstanding.

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 2018.
