Earnings Per Share (EPS)

The Earnings per Share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the company’s profits or earnings by the total number of outstanding shares of stock.

Earnings per Share is usually abbreviated as EPS and the “ttm” that follows stands for Trailing Twelve Months. This means that EPS (ttm) is the total earnings or profits the company has made over the last 12 months.

EPS = Earnings ÷ Outstanding shares
