Mueller Water Products (NYSE:MWA) Earnings per Share (Diluted) Explanation

But investors need to be aware that Earnings per Share can be easily manipulated by adjusting depreciation and amortization rate or non-recurring items. That's why GuruFocus lists EPS without NRI, which better reflects the company's underlying performance.
