Earnings Per Share (EPS)

The deep dive into exactly how much a company makes 🫢

Knowing a company’s profits is super important as an investor 🤓

Earnings Per Share give you quick insight into a company’s profits compared to its stock price 🤑

Earnings Per Share (EPS) equals total profits divided by total number of shares 📈

The result tells us EXACTLY how much money the company makes in profit for every share! 🤑

💡Remember: A “share” is 1 piece of stock!

The higher the EPS, the more money the company is making per share 💰

So, if EPS is $100, then the company makes $100 per 1 share 🤑

EPS can be calculated using either the company's yearly or quarterly profits 📅

EPS can be affected by things like company expenses, taxes, and dividends paid to shareholders 💸

Investors use EPS to compare the profitability of different companies in the same industry 🤑
