Share count down in each of the last three fiscal years

Change in shares outstanding, one year: shares outstanding at the latest quarter end over a year earlier, less one; negative means buybacks net of issuance. Buybacks, trailing twelve months: cash paid to repurchase shares, four quarters. Free cash flow, trailing twelve months: operating cash flow less capital expenditure, four quarters. Market capitalisation: price times shares outstanding (the latest filed count, or the diluted weighted count where a company with several share classes tags no single count; India from the shareholding pattern). Price to earnings: price over the last four quarters' EPS as filed (net income over diluted shares for a quarter whose EPS is not filed), put on the current share count where a split or bonus fell inside them. A rule in words over filed numbers; the list says which names meet it and nothing about what to do. Write your own.
