This is important, because the company may = have increased/decreased the number of shares outstanding from one time = period to the next, then each individual share's piece of the pie will = be different. Example: Total Earnings/Net Income quarter 1: $10m Total Earnings/Net Income quarter 2: $12.5m +25 % , right? Add the following outstanding share info: Total Earnings/Net Income quarter 1 =3D $10m. Shares =3D 10m = Earnings per share =3D $1/share Company has a 2 for 1 split during the quarter, so Total Earnings/Net Income quarter 2 =3D $12.5m Shares =3D 20m = Earnings per share =3D $0.625/share Growth in earnings per share QoQ =3D NEGATIVE 37.5%! Also be sure to visit www.investors.com/learn to find answers to = questions like this.

Consider buying stocks with each of last three years' earnings up = 25% or more, ROE of 17%+ and recent earnings and sales accelerating. 2. Recent quarterly earnings and sales should be up 25% or more. When they say "earnings" do they mean earnings per share or sales, net = income, or other number?
