Earnings per share
|
Earnings per Share = After Tax Income/Number of Shares in Circulation.
|
|
Earnings per share can be either based on most recent earnings ("trailing") or on forward looking earnings.
Example:
If a company is forecasting earnings after tax of $500,000 with 10,000,000 shares issued, earnings per share = 500,000/10,000,000 = $0.05 per share.
