FloatChecker is a compilation of float data from several free financial websites. Those sites utilize their own methodologies to determine a stock’s float. That determination ultimately comes from information reported by publicly traded companies themselves. One site’s interpretation of that information can vary from another site’s interpretation. While we strive to accurately present float data, it may be different from what you see when you visit a specific site listed here. You should also keep in mind that financial news and information (like most things in life) can change very quickly. For example, it is not uncommon for a company to suddenly announce a secondary offering of additional shares to raise capital, which can have a significant effect on the stock price and float. Under such circumstances, you should not always expect financial websites across the web to immediately provide the new stock float. But you can read the company's press release and related financial filing, which may discuss the new stock float amount. In addition, when you search a company on FloatChecker, the results will contain a link back to the source webpage if you want to do further research.
