Why does earnings & EPS shown on SSG not jive up with Etrade and other publications
Why does earnings & EPS and other data on SSG not jive up with that published on Etrade and else where?
1 voteThe earnings (EPS) that are used in the tools and stock data service are ‘Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations’.
There are the earnings from the GAAP definition of continuing operations divided by the common shares outstanding adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. Securities having a dilutive effect may include convertible debentures, warrants, options, and convertible preferred stock.
These earnings are traceable back to the company’s official filing (10-Q, 10-K, 20-F) on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov
Other financial resources may present different variations on earnings.

In determining a low price the "Determine Low Price-Next 5 Years" box pops up. Would like to see this prepopulated with the last 4 quarters EPS.

Warren Buffett states that when he and Charlie buy common stock for Berkshire they approach the transition as if they are buying into a private business. They look at the economic prospects of the business, the people in charge of running it, and the price they must pay. (see The Essays of Warren Buffett by Lawrence A. Cunningham, Second Edition, p 77) BI does good with teaching about how to in economic prospects and if the price is right, but we need more information on management. How do we research that? Thanks.
