Summary
1Y EPS Growth measures the percentage increase or decrease in Earnings Per Share compared with the preceding annual period.
It shows whether the earnings attributable to each share have increased over one year.
How it is calculated
1Y EPS Growth = ((Current EPS − Previous EPS) ÷ Previous EPS) × 100
How to read it
Positive growth generally means earnings per share increased, while negative growth generally means earnings per share declined.
EPS Growth can differ from Net Income Growth when the number of shares in issue changes. The result can also be misleading when previous EPS was very small, zero, or negative.
Review it together with revenue, net income, margins, and valuation.
