EPS
Fundamental Analysis
O que significa
Earnings Per Share: a company's net profit divided by its total number of outstanding shares. It shows how much profit is allocated to each share of stock, and is a key input for the P/E ratio.
Exemplo
A company earns $1 billion in net profit and has 100 million outstanding shares, so its EPS is $10. If the stock trades at $150, the P/E ratio is 15 ($150 divided by $10).
Erro comum de iniciantes
Beginners ignore that EPS can be manipulated by share buybacks. A company can boost EPS without growing profit just by reducing the number of shares outstanding — always check if earnings growth comes from real profit improvements, not just fewer shares.
