Diluted EPS

Net income per weighted-average diluted share - earnings spread across every share that could exist if options and convertibles exercised.

Formula

Net income ÷ weighted-average diluted shares (same filing period)

Served as: annual · quarterly · ttm. Annual and quarterly observations are never mixed unlabeled.

Where the inputs come from

  • EarningsPerShareDiluted (as filed)
  • NetIncomeLoss ÷ WeightedAverageNumberOfDilutedSharesOutstanding (identity check)

Listed highest priority first. Every served figure carries its filing, fiscal period and accession; open any value on the financials page to see them.

How to compare it honestly

Compare against the company's own history; an EPS change decomposes into a net-income effect and a share-count effect, and the two can move opposite ways.

When it is not served

Quarterly EPS is never derived by subtraction - per-quarter weighted-share denominators differ. Not served when the filer tags no EPS fact.

Missing data is missing evidence: it is never shown as zero and never treated as a conclusion.

What it cannot tell you

Buybacks raise EPS without any change in the business; the filed fact rounds to the cent, so an implied check can differ by rounding.

Questions worth asking next

  • How much of the EPS change came from net income versus the share count?
  • Does the share ledger show buybacks or issuance driving the denominator?
