EPS - Earnings per Share

reporting term (Period that is 3 month, 6 month, One year, 3 year etct..).
EPS can be 3 types - trailing EPS, current EPS, forward EPS
EPS can be calculated for the previous year ("trailing EPS"),
for the current year ("current EPS"), or / for the coming year
("forward EPS").
last year's EPS would be actual, while current year and forward year EPS
would be estimates.
