Frequently asked questions

What is EPS?

Earnings per share (EPS) is the company's net income divided by the number of shares. It shows how much of the profit belongs to each share and is the basis of the P/E ratio.

What is the formula?

EPS = (net income − preferred dividends) ÷ weighted average shares outstanding. Use the weighted average for the period, which accounts for share issues and buybacks.

Where do I find these numbers?

In the income statement of the company's quarterly and annual reports, in the investor relations section. Many companies already publish basic and diluted EPS.

What is diluted EPS?

It is EPS considering all shares that may still be issued, such as employee options and convertible bonds. It is always equal to or lower than basic EPS.
