What is the definition of Securities Outstanding?
Securities Outstanding refers to shareholders' stocks. These are common shares of stocks that investors purchase, and that have been authorized by the company and the Securities and Exchange Commission and issued accordingly.
Securities outstanding provide the shareholders with the right to have some form of control over the company. These enable holders to vote for the members of the board and represent ownership to the company for the proportion of shares held by the individuals or entities.
Securities outstanding are different from common stock (treasury shares). Securities outstanding can be fully diluted, when it includes diluting securities. These include convertibles, options and warrants.
The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains filings of securities outstanding.
