How this measure is calculated

What is measured?

Period-average diluted EPS denominator; not period-end shares outstanding.

How are windows compared?

Changes compare matching fiscal-year observations. A window is unavailable unless its exact start and end fiscal years are present in the checked series.

What is excluded?

Repurchase cash and stock-based compensation are contextual USD measures. They are not components of the share-count calculation and do not establish causation.

Display and calculation notes
Display rules
  • X-axis uses fiscal period end.
  • Share-line y-axis is range-scaled; USD bar charts use a zero baseline.
  • DWA is a period-average EPS denominator, not period-end shares outstanding.
  • Repurchase cash and SBC are USD context; not netted.
  • Split-adjusted displays keep both reported and chart values.
Calculation limits

The displayed period-change result was separately reviewed.
