Definition

To calculate a company's EPS, you divide the company's net income (minus dividends) by its number of outstanding shares. The higher a company's EPS is, the more profitable it is (in most cases). However, while comparing companies' EPSes can be useful when selecting investments, it should not be the sole basis of your investment decision.
