Sales per Share

A key metric used in finance is the calculation of annual sales divided by the number of shares outstanding. This measure, known as earnings per share, provides insight into a company's profitability and can be used to compare companies of different sizes. It is calculated by dividing the total revenue generated by a company in a year by the number of shares it has issued to investors. This figure is important for investors as it gives them an idea of the company's financial health and potential for growth. So, when analyzing a company's performance, keep an eye on its earnings per share.
