The meaning and definition of Earnings Per Share EPS -
The portion of a company's earnings theoretically allocated to each share of outstanding stock. EPS can be useful as a measure of a stock's relative investment value, but should be used along with other measures, as companies may use different approaches when accounting for various expenses and sales. EPS is calculated as total earnings for the prior 12 months ending with the last calendar quarter of the year divided by the number of shares outstanding.
