What is EPS (Earnings Per Share)?

EPS represents the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share — the most widely used measure of per-share profitability.

Formula

EPS = Net Income ÷ Total Shares Outstanding

How to Interpret

Rising EPS over time indicates growing profitability. Compare with revenue growth to ensure quality earnings, not just financial engineering.

Typical Ranges

Look for consistent 15%+ EPS growth over 3-5 years.
