Actual EPS vs Estimated EPS

How EPS can be helpful

Understanding the true essence of Earnings Per Share (EPS) for a company can be a complex endeavor. EPS, essentially a measure of a company's profitability on a per-share basis, is often used by investors as a barometer of financial health. However, it's crucial to recognize that EPS can be subject to manipulation through various accounting techniques and management strategies.
