Explained in plain English

What's 'earnings per share'?

Earnings per share (EPS) is a company's profit divided by the number of its outstanding shares. It tells investors how much profit the company made for each share they own. National Bank's higher EPS means more profit was generated per share, which is generally seen as a positive sign for shareholders.
