Net of every new share it issued, Brunswick has 32.1 million fewer shares than at its 2004 peak. That is 33.1% of the company. Since fiscal 2012 alone it bought back about 33.1 million shares, while the count fell by 25.4 million. The difference went to employees and other new shares.
64,797,428 shares, as of July 30, 2026, from the cover page of its latest 10-Q. At the 2004 peak it had 96,891,136.
Each share is a bigger slice of the company. Someone who held Brunswick stock in 2004 owns 1.5 times as much of the business today without buying another share. Whether that was a good use of cash depends on the price paid.
