EPS CAGR 4Y

Earnings per share, compound annual rate over the last five fiscal years

One of the 61 measures in Stock Scorer, under Growth — Is the business getting bigger, and is it getting more profitable?

How it is worked out

The filer's own diluted earnings per share, compounded over the five most recent fiscal years

Whether the per-share earnings actually compounded, rather than jumped once. Read from the per-share history the filer reported, not worked out from profit and a share count. Refused whenever a share split sits inside the window, because the history either side of one is not on the same basis.

How to read it

the sustained version of the measure above, so a single strong year moves it far less. Refused outright when either end of the window is a loss, because a compound rate between a profit and a loss has no meaning, and refused when the reported per-share figure does not reconcile with net income over the share count
