'''Shares authorized''' is the maximum number of shares that a company can issue. This number is specified in the company's [[articles of association]] but can be changed by [[shareholder]] approval. A company usually authorizes a higher number of shares than required to be able to issue stock in the future.

==Basic formulae==
*Shares authorized = [[Issued shares|Shares issued]] + Shares unissued
*Shares issued = [[Shares outstanding]] + [[Treasury stock]]

==See also==
*[[Public float]]
