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.

epic lulz

Ancient internet slang for the supreme tier of laugh-out-loud moments, specifically those achieved through elaborate pranks or trolling campaigns. Born in the chaotic early forums and imageboards, it represents laughter elevated to an art form—not just funny, but legendarily, screenshot-worthily hilarious. Think of it as the Michelin star rating of online schadenfreude.
