Growth
What is Diluted EPS CAGR 5Y?
The average yearly growth in diluted earnings per share over the last five fiscal years.
How it is calculated
The fifth root of diluted EPS this year divided by diluted EPS five years ago, minus one, with per-share figures adjusted for stock splits.
How to read it
Faster than revenue growth means margins widened or the share count fell. Compare with revenue CAGR to see which.
Keep in mind
Not computed when either year shows a loss, since the ratio has no meaning. Computed for annual reports only, since it compares whole fiscal years. In the screener, the trailing twelve months row carries the latest annual figure.
Where the numbers come from
Scrutar computes Diluted EPS CAGR 5Y from the figures each company reports to the SEC in its annual and quarterly filings, using the XBRL data attached to those filings.
