Prices come from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed by up to fifteen minutes. Dividend history is derived from the price data and may differ from the company's official figures. Share count changes for more reasons than buybacks: acquisitions paid in stock and staff compensation count too. For companies that grow by issuing — property funds, for instance — this figure says something about your slice of the business, not about its value.
