Diluted EPS by quarter

$ per share, as reported

On today’s share basis: figures from before a stock split are divided by it, so every quarter compares.

‡ A fourth quarter is the year’s EPS less the first three quarters’, calculated by The Dispatch: a 10-K reports the year, not the quarter. It can differ by a cent or two from the company’s own figure, because the share count moves during the year.

Both from Finnhub. Its reported figures are on the same basis as analysts’ estimates, which usually leave out some one-off items, so they can differ from the diluted EPS above, which is as filed with the SEC.
