Change in the diluted weighted average share count from the fiscal year before, stock splits taken out. Bars use one scale for stock pay and buybacks. Prospectuses are read from their cover page; preliminary ones are left out. Cash & buybacks, year by year → · How
No cash flow chart for banks and insurers: their operating cash flow moves with loans, deposits and trading, so it says little about how cash was spent.

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; diluted_shares = WeightedAverageNumberOfDilutedSharesOutstanding.
Price paid per share
What SYF paid on average for each share it bought back, each fiscal year: dollars spent divided by shares bought, both from the 10-K.

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.
