Shares outstanding are taken from KENNAMETAL INC.’s 10-K dated July 31, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At KENNAMETAL INC.'s shareholder meeting held October 26, 2023, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 265 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 4,173 separate fund positions.
