share buyback counts and amount / Change to equity

How do i get to amount of shares bought back (not net of options issuance). I am having hard time understanding this function.

I want to get to how many share the company bought back and the amount paid for them in the last 12 months

I found it EqPurch is what i am looking for!

That’s not the line that you’re looking for. EqPurch is the dollar amount of equity repurchased from the cash flow statement financing section.

We don’t have any way to get shares bought back accurately. I would probably approach it as SharesQ-SharesPYQ, but that will also reflect the redemption of options.

I guess you could also do EqPurchQ/Close(0) as another approximation, but that would assume that there was no significant price movement since the financial statement.

My best approximation of shareholder yield is:

Yield+Eval(SharesQ-SharesPYQ>=0,0,100*(SharesPYQ-SharesQ)/SharesPYQ)

Thanks Paul!

EqPurch is useful as a measure of the amount of money spent repurchasing shares. Another way to measure shareholder yield is as follows:

(IAD + EqPurchTTM/SharesFDTTM - EqIssuedTTM/SharesFDTTM) / Price.
