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 = PaymentsOfDividends; sbc = ShareBasedCompensation; issuance = ProceedsFromStockOptionsExercised.
Price paid per share
What V 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014-09-30 | 20.00M | $4.1B | $205.90 | |
| 2013-09-30 | 33.00M | $5.4B | $162.58 | |
| 2012-09-30 | 6.00M | $710.0M | $118.33 |
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 2014.
