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.
