BASICS FOR BEGINNERS ....

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EPS,DILUTED EPS AND CASH EPS 

Courtesy : Investopedia

Basic Earnings Per Share ( EPS)

A rough measurement of the amount of a company's profit that can be allocated to one share of its stock. Basic earnings per share (EPS) do not factor in the dilutive effects on convertible securities. Basic EPS is calculated as follows:
Basic EPS = (net income – preferred dividends) / weighted average number of common shares outstanding
If a company has a simple capital structure, meaning that it has not issued any potential dilutive securities, basic EPS can be a useful metric on its own.


Diluted EPS

Diluted Earnings Per Share (diluted EPS) is a company's earnings per share (EPS) calculated using fully diluted shares outstanding (i.e. including the impact of stock option grants and convertible bonds)


Cash EPS

 Cash EPS is operating cash flow (not EBITDA) divided by diluted shares outstanding. Generally, cash EPS is more important than other EPS numbers, because it is a "purer" number. Cash EPS is better because operating cash flow cannot be manipulated as easily as net income and represents real cash earned, calculated by including changes in key asset categories, such as receivables and inventories. For example, a company with reported EPS of 50 cents and cash EPS of $1 is preferable to a firm with reported EPS of $1 and cash EPS of 50 cents. Although there are many factors to consider in evaluating these two hypothetical stocks, the company with cash is generally in better financial shape.

    1. Fundamentally what negative factors you realised after the purchase of this stock @ 86 , to think about exiting from it below your purchase price ?

    2. Possibly the rate going down may have made sree think on exiting at lower rate I think..

    1. Prashant, please understand that just because PE is low, it does not mean the stock is good. Many of the worthless stocks have very low PE because nobody would touch them.

    this company called shilp gravures recently saw volume increase and scrip touched 52 week high, It is noted that promoters have increased their stake in the company slowly and steadily since a lot of quarters.

    I want to ask you about this stock also because it is the only listed player in industry and on taking information from the company it is noted that india's largest fmc companies like itc hul britannia nestle amul are among their 500+ clients.
