Key Terms
gaap epsfinancial
GAAP EPS is the profit per share a company reports using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the standard rules for preparing financial statements. It shows how much net income is attributable to each share after recognized costs like operating expenses, taxes and long-term cost allocations, much like a household reporting its monthly savings after following a fixed budgeting checklist. Investors rely on GAAP EPS to compare profitability consistently across companies and reporting periods.
adjusted epsfinancial
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.
share repurchase authorizationfinancial
A share repurchase authorization is a company's official approval to buy back its own shares from the market. This signals that the company believes its stock is a good investment and can help increase the value of remaining shares by reducing how many are available. For investors, it often suggests confidence from the company and can influence the stock’s price.
constant currencyfinancial
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
