Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share (EPS) is a financial metric that shows how much profit a company makes for each share of its stock. It's calculated by dividing the company's net profit by the total number of outstanding shares. EPS helps investors understand how profitable a company is on a per-share basis, making it easier to compare companies of different sizes or to track a company's performance over time. A higher EPS generally indicates better profitability, but it should be considered alongside other financial factors for a complete picture.
