did they but back any stock in the past quarter or year and/or pay dividends? remember that equity is made up of capital stock + retained earnings. For example, Net Income can be $500 for company A. If they paid out $200 in dividends, then the retained earnings of the equity part of the balance sheet would only show a $300 increase. Furthermore, if they used $100 to purchase back stock, then the capital stock account would decrease by $100, further reducing equity by $100. Both are a way of returning capital back to shareholders, thereby reducing their equity in the company. hope this makes it a bit clearer. Paulo stockmotions.com
