Frequently asked questions
What is earnings per share?
EPS is a company's net income divided by its shares outstanding. It shows how much profit each share represents and feeds into valuation measures like the P/E ratio.
What is the difference between basic and diluted EPS?
Basic EPS uses current shares. Diluted EPS also counts shares that could be created by options and convertibles, giving a more conservative figure.
