Key terms on this page

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Earnings per share is a company’s net profit attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares. It expresses how much profit the company generated for each share during a period. EPS is the denominator of the P/E ratio and a core input in equity valuation.

Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio

The price-to-earnings ratio divides a company’s share price by its earnings per share, showing how many pounds investors pay for each pound of annual profit. It is one of the most widely used valuation multiples for comparing listed companies within the same sector. A trailing P/E uses reported earnings, while a forward P/E uses forecast earnings.

Dividend Yield

Dividend yield is the annual cash dividend per share expressed as a percentage of the current share price. It measures the income a shareholder receives from distributions relative to the market price of the stock. Because the calculation uses the market price, the yield rises when the price falls and falls when the price rises, assuming the dividend is unchanged.
