EPS (Earnings Per Share)
A company's net profit divided by its number of shares outstanding — the profit figure P/E, PEG, and most other valuation metrics are built on.
Formula: EPS = Net Profit (after tax) ÷ Shares Outstanding
EPS converts a company's total profit into a per-share figure, which is what makes it comparable to the share price. PSX-listed companies report EPS every quarter as part of their financial results filing.
StockPulse tracks EPS quarter by quarter (visible on the Earnings Chart) and also computes a trailing-twelve-month (TTM) figure — the sum of the last four quarters — which is the denominator used for the site's P/E calculation.
A rising EPS trend across consecutive quarters generally matters more than any single quarter's number, since one quarter can be skewed by a one-off gain or charge.
