Revenue per Share (RPS)
Calculate the revenue per share, a valuation ratio that measures the amount of revenue generated per outstanding share of a company’s stock.
The revenue per share is an important metric that provides insight into a company’s ability to generate revenue on a per-share basis. It can help investors understand the company’s revenue-generation efficiency and its overall financial health.
The formula is as follows:
\[\text{Revenue per Share} = \text{Revenue} / \text{Weighted Average} (\text{Diluted}) \text{Shares}\]Also known as: sales per share.
