holder?

Answer Posted / satya

The portion of a company's profit allocated to each
outstanding share of common stock. Earnings per share
serves as an indicator of a company's profitability.

Calculated as:





When calculating, it is more accurate to use a weighted
average number of shares outstanding over the reporting
term, because the number of shares outstanding can change
over time. However, data sources sometimes simplify the
calculation by using the number of shares outstanding at
the end of the period.

convertibles or warrants outstanding in the outstanding
shares number.
