Spark New Zealand (ASX:SPK) 3-Year EPS without NRI Growth Rate Explanation
EPS without NRI is the amount of earnings without non-recurring items per outstanding share of the company's stock.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is the single most important variable used by Wall Street in determining the earnings power of a company.
