Apple Share Creep And The Number Of Fully Diluted Shares
For the AAPL analysts among our members this is a 10-quarter history of the increase in Apple’s fully diluted shares. Mark’s been waiting for post like this for quite some time.
Snippet: While “share creep” in sequential quarters might appear to be slight, when measured over a 12-month period of time the increase in fully diluted shares becomes material to the eps outcome. During the 10-quarter period illustrated in the graph and data table below the number of fully diluted shares used in quarterly eps calculations has risen about 3.8%.

What’s 13 billion in shareholder value between friends? Apple has up to 1.8 billion shares that they can fully dilute to, there is a lot more pain to come. :-x Man, ruin my night why don’t you with this topic.

1.8 billion shares?

Yep, 1.8 billion shares is the fully diluted number approved by the BOD, scary huh? What you thought this would end soon?

1.8 billion shares?
DT, thanks for posting this article. Hopefully more investors will get the message…............
:-xI don’t expect the BOD to do ANYTHING re investor value. They’re just figureheads anyway….............. just a bunch of “yes sir” toadies.

John, I don’t even want to get on the topic of the BOD, but as with all BOD’s, they are suppose to look out for the shareholders. This BOD included Schmidt at one time which slowed Apple down and created the animal known as the Droid. Could someone please tell me why the SEC has not put ES behind bars for his actions.
Bill Campbell is probably the only one who should even be there and I don’t even like him.

I get the impression some members are dismayed by the numbers. True?

It would be instructive (maddening?) to add the the total percentage of “share creep” for the last 10 years to your article. I believe that percent change is something around 1/3. :-o

So if I use the pre-market price of 331.50 and some basic math you are telling me I could wake up one morning the whopping AAPL price of $172.37 because the BOD chose to dilute shares?
Oh my. I need to shop for a home defib unit.

So you are saying the number of shares rose 3.8% in 2.5 years?

That’s correct. The number of fully diluted shares continues to rise.
