Between 7/31/2018 and 10/31/2018, close to one billion shares traded with a change in the OS of 7.5 million shares. Feelings are different than data. At that time, I was surprised to learn that the OS only went up by 7.5 millions. Data speak louder than feelings. Let's go with data.
Last Friday, or technically last Thursday, the CEO talked about the OS reduction and cited the number of shares reduced from the 10/31/2018, and reduce the OS by 1.4 billion shares. Then we had Friday, Monday, and Tuesday tradings close to a 131 million shares. Do you really think that these shares were simply dilution? I think not.
