I'm relatively new to investing, and I'm trying to understand some of the terminologies and how their relationship to each other. So I was wondering if someone you could give me a hand. Please correct me if any of the following statements are wrong.
-
revenue: the amount you make from selling your products/services.
-
earning: same as revenue? or is this another word for "profit"?
-
share: the amount of shares a company has.
-
earning per share: Since this isn't the actual price of a share, what is this even mean?
-
market cap: The number of share multiply by the value of a single share give you the market cap of the company? Why is it called "market cap"? Why isn't call "market value"? Since this is what represent the value of the company?
For the fourth quarter, revenues came in at $1.48 billion and EPS came in at $0.08 per share.
Is there an equation to derive EPS, given $1.38 billion in revenues and another number(s)?
Thanks.
