For my opinion Earning par share refer to a full dividend after expenses. But if we have prefered stock we need to seperate prefered stock dividends and take its balance for common stock dividends by:

Earning per share = Balance after prefered stock dividends / Number of share

One more Dividends per share refer to balance for common stcok after we seperate balance after prefered stock dividends to both side, common stockdividends and retained earning.

Dividends per share = Common stock dividends / Number of share

is that right? if another have any ideas please let me know.

Thanks.!

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.
