Where did i say EPS?


BTW, according to several sources, Market Cap = OS X Current PPS......including restricteds

What is market cap?

Market cap is short for "market capitalization." It represents the value of a company, including all of its assets, capital, revenues, etc. Basically, if the company were to be sold for a fair price, it would be close to the market cap. Of course people may have different opinions of what a company's value is, but there is a certain way to calculate the market cap.

How do you calculate it?

The market cap is calculated as follows:

Number of Shares Outstanding X Market Cap of a share

This formula is easy to understand because the shares represent ownership of the company. All of the shares together represent the entire company, so we can find the value of the company by finding the total value of all of the shares.



Please find a post where i said EPS..

BTW: RESTRICTED SHARES ARE IN THE OS, so thats the number used.

TIA!

I think its a different formula which has a different purpose. You're talking about abstract calculations here. It doesn't take a math genious to realise those restricted shares ARE NOT BEING TRADED at this moment. PERIOD. A minimum of six months from their issue date before that happens. You can use the standard formula if you want, but it will mask the real picture.
