Instead of investing blindly, it is important to evaluate the company’s internal strengths prior to purchasing stock. Earnings Per Share also known as EPS is a significant and popular financial metric, that aids individual investors in stock analysis.
What is an EPS in Banking?
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is the earning of stock by one unit of share. EPS of the individual stock shows the strength of the company in a particular period of time. You can check the earnings per share of stock from their financial reports. A smart investor always picks up the stock with higher EPS. But always compare the EPS of one company with another company within the same industry.
