Even with the shares not being included since the stock is currently priced under the option strike price, there has been a lot of dilution going on. Three years ago, QCOM reported 74.2 million diluted shares for their first quarter. This year 809.5 million. Backing out the 2/1 and 4/1 splits, that's a 36.4% increase in the number of diluted shares over three years, or about 11% annually. That kind of continued annual dilution will significantly impact shareholder value if forward revenue growth remains under, say, 25%.
