Fast-shrinking share count - any figure more than a few months old overstates market cap. AIA cancels every repurchased share: 10,832m at 1 Jan 2025 -> 10,507m at 31 Dec 2025 (291,862,200 cancelled) -> 10,346,644,870 at 30 Jun 2026 (a further 164,338,200 cancelled for ~HKD13.66bn / USD1.74bn); the buy-back is still running, so the count at end-August 2026 is lower again.
Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (AAGIY), where one receipt represents 4 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
