Introduction

Earning per share (EPS) is the widely used standard to gauge the value of a company. It ascertains the amount of money that a company makes for each share of its stock. It is calculated by dividing earnings available for equity shareholders by the number of equity shares.  A plan with higher EPS is selected as a higher EPS denotes the higher value of the company's stock.
