    Two types of data sources

    They contain basic shares outstanding for one day in a year. The statements are filed once every year.

    For example the proxy report for 2018, https://www.app5.unisys.com/investors/proxy/2018_unisys_proxy.pdf, shows that the company has 50,639,210 shares outstanding as of 2018-02-26.

    They contain shares outstanding used by the company to compute per share analytics on a quarterly basis. The reports show both basic and diluted shares outstanding. The reports are filed quarterly.

    For example, to get shares outstanding data for 2Q18 for UIS 

    https://www.unisys.com/investor-relations/financials-filings/quarterly-financials
 -> "Press Release" PDF for 2Q18 - http://www.unisys.com/common/investors/financial/2018/07319606.pdf
 -> search for "Basic" to go to the consolidated statements of income page
 -> at the bottom they report two types of shares outstanding - basic and diluted.
    The values are in thousands.

    which shows that UIS has 50,986,000 basic shares outstanding and 51,398,000 diluted shares outstanding over that quarter
