What is EPS?

Using the research tool of your choice, locate historical EPS numbers, going back 10 years if possible.

Enter the oldest available number as your "initial" value. Enter the most recent number as your "Current" value. In the "Age" box, enter a number of years. (For example, if your oldest number is from 10 years ago, and your newest is from this year, the total span of time between them is 9 years.)

On MSN Money, historical EPS numbers are located at: Financial Results > Statements > 10 Year Summary.
