What is eps?
The profit a company made for each share.
Explained in more detail
EPS stands for earnings per share. It is total profit divided by the number of shares. It matters because profit growing while the share count also grows may leave each shareholder no better off.
An example
For instance₹100 crore of profit across 10 crore shares gives an EPS of ₹10.
