Glossary: Earnings Per Share (EPS) Earnings per share (EPS) - The amount of corporate earnings available to common stock shareholders. The formula is net income less preferred dividends divided by number of shares outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per share means that all common stock equivalents (convertible bonds, preferred stock, warrants, and rights) have been included along with the common stock. This is the worse case scenario amount that would be available.
