Shares outstanding
How many shares exist. Market cap and every per-share number divide by it.
How Tickdelta computes it
Cover-page share count of the latest filing
Companies with several share classes report one count per class; they are added up. Without a current cover-page count, the diluted weighted average of the latest quarter is used.
