DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EPS,DILUTED EPS AND CASH EPS
Courtesy : Investopedia
Basic Earnings Per Share ( EPS)
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.
Nice learning lesson distinguishing Eps and cash Eps. Thank you V.P. sir

On the other hand they are pumping more money into the company by subscribing shares on preferential basis, may be an effort to adjust funds.

DeleteWish you and your family a very happy new year sir,
ReplyDeletethis 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.
Business of all the mentioned FMCG cos grown in recent past . Any idea why there is no growth for this company in the same period ?
DeleteSir because they did not add fresh clients that is why sales remain flat, Now they have started adding clients, As well as product pricing has started moving up.
DeleteSir
