EPS is Earning per share of each of your investment from the profit delivered at the end of a period.
This is expressed in commerce as Total profit of that period after all expenses and taxes, divided by the number of shares traded or offered for that particular period.
Earning per share is derived when firm or company closes its book for a certain period of time to assess their performance quarterly, semi- annual or annually to determine its position financially.
Thanks @Realtreaty for your ndispensable explanation of EPS. Unfortunately, I had already learnt that some years back. Secondly, EPS is an acronym for many thiings. I provided a link to what I meant and it would be wise to have clicked and understood my problem rather jumping the gun. Thank you once again.
