Dilution is defined exclusively in stock trading as an increase in the O/S.
The reason being is so that market valuations and PPS can be compared equally, based on a set standard across all stocks.
Preferred shares and warrants do not count toward the O/S or float until they are actually converted.
Not here, not on any OTC and not on any NASDAQ or NYSE company.
Does an AAPL or GOOG include their warrants, notes, options issued, vested and/or unvested into the current O/S and apply that to their market caps?
OF course not. Why do some people insist that the term “fully diluted” applies only to ONCX and not every other publically traded company in the world?
