What is included in "other stockholder equity" in the stockholder's equity on the balance sheet?

Perhaps it's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) - allowed under US GAAP but not under IFRS.

Components of accumulated other comprehensive income can include unrealized gains or losses from available for sale securities, cash flow hedging derivatives, foreign currency translation, adjustments for minimum pension liability.

Take a look at this:

It appears that the 866,000 in Other Stockholder Equity is the net of:

Cumulative Translation Adjustment/Unrealized For. Exch. Gain: (105m) <parens = loss

and

Unrealized Gain/Loss Marketable Securities: 971m

Hope this helps...see the link below for more info.

Stockholders Equity Definition

Guido, that's a darn good question, but despite a diligent search I cannot find a definition for this term in any financial dictionary. However, looking at a number of financial statements, I notice that "other stockholder equity" is usually a negative number (like in treasury stock), so my GUESS is that this is the equity of minority interest holders, e.g. of shareholders of a company they acquired that did not relinquish or tender their shares in the acquired company.
