Answer / hinal k
In simple terms, EPS is the amount of money you will earn
on each share which you own in a company. It is the net
income available for common stock, divided by the no of
outstanding shares. EPS for the previous year is known as
the "trailing RPS", for the current year is known as
the "current EPS" while for the next year onwards is known
as the "foward EPS".

Answer / s.sivaprasad
The Term Earnings Per Share (EPS) represents the portion of
a company's earnings, net of taxes and preferred stock
dividends, that is allocated to each share of common stock.
The Figure can be calculated simply by dividing net income
earned in a given reporting period (usually quarterly or
annually) by the total number of shares outstanding during
the same term. Because the number of shares outstanding can
fluctuate, a weighted average is typically used.
