RegisterEarnings Per Share (EPS) measures the portion of a company's net profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. It is calculated by dividing net income by the total number of shares outstanding and is one of the most widely used metrics for evaluating a company's profitability.
EPS allows investors to compare profitability across companies of different sizes on a per-share basis. A rising EPS over time generally indicates that a company is becoming more profitable, which tends to support a higher stock price. Declining EPS can signal deteriorating business conditions.
The EPS chart uses a trailing twelve month (TTM) figure, which smooths out seasonal variations by always looking at the most recent full year of earnings. A rising line indicates improving profitability. A flat or declining line warrants closer examination of the underlying business.
EPS can rise due to higher revenues, improved profit margins, cost reductions, or share buybacks that reduce the number of shares outstanding. It can fall due to revenue declines, rising costs, or dilution from new share issuances.
