Glossaire du trading

Définition

Earnings Per Share (EPS) is a financial metric that indicates how much profit a company generates for each outstanding share of its stock. It is calculated by dividing a company's net profit by its total number of shares. EPS is one of the most widely used indicators of a company's profitability and is closely watched by investors.

Exemple

If a company reports a net profit of $10 million with 5 million shares outstanding, its EPS would be $2.00. Traders focused on equities use EPS figures, particularly during earnings season, to evaluate whether a company is meeting, beating, or missing market expectations. A higher-than-expected EPS often leads to a positive price reaction, while a miss can trigger a sharp sell-off. Understanding EPS trends over time also helps traders assess the long-term growth trajectory of a company.
