Earnings Per Share (EPS), What is it?

Each share's portion of net profit = net income ÷ number of shares.

Earnings per share (EPS) is each share's portion of a company's net profit, computed as net income ÷ number of shares. If a company earns one billion with one billion shares, EPS is 1 per share. It is a key profitability measure and feeds the P/E ratio. More important than its level is its trend: a company growing EPS year after year reflects real growth. Note that issuing new shares lowers EPS (dilution) while buybacks raise it. FoudaLens shows fundamentals including earnings for each stock.
