Dilution
What dilution means: new shares, a smaller stake, and where to read it in a filing. Not advice.
A smaller stake
Dilution is shares that were not in the float becoming available, or new shares being issued. Someone who keeps the same number of shares then owns a smaller part of the company.
It can come from a share sale, a debt conversion, or securities that were already promised and become tradable. The word does not say whether the price will rise or fall.
Where it is written
For a U.S. company, the fact is in the public filings. The document often says how many shares can be sold, how many already were, at what price if a price is written, and who is selling: the company or a holder.
The filing date matters. A newer document replaces an older figure. A page summary does not replace the filing text.
This is not financial advice.
