Earning and dividend are two different things that's why they are also different from each other
Example:
Total Earning in 20xx = 1000
Dividend = 200
Number of shares = 100
Earning per share = 1000/100 = 10
Dividend per share = 200/100 = 2

What the meaning of stock price?
A share price is the price of a single share of a company's stock. Once the stock is purchased, the owner becomes a shareholder of the company that issued the share. The price is calculated by dividing the market capitalization by the total number of shares outstanding. When viewed over long periods, the share price is directly related to the earnings and dividends of the firm. Over short periods, especially for younger or smaller firms, the relationship between share price and dividends can be quite irrational.
