Share Diluters — Fastest-Growing Share Counts
US stocks ranked by how much their share count (shares outstanding) grew over the past year. To avoid mistaking a split for issuance, names whose count moved more than ±40% in a year are treated as likely stock splits / corporate actions and excluded. A descriptive as-filed statistic, not investment advice.
Buyback yield = latest-FY repurchase spend ÷ market cap · repurchases = cash spent as reported (not net of issuance) · share Δ = 1-year change in shares outstanding · suspected splits (±40%) excluded · as-filed · Not investment advice
