I am trying to figure out why the EPS on a companies financial statement filed with the SEC is different than what websites have, that track stock, PE ration and EPS. For example Microsoft (MSFT) on quarter ending March 31st 2022 financial statement filed with the SEC says EPS of $2.23.
On website macrotrends.net looking at quarter ending 03/31/2022 is saying the stock was $307.56 and that EPS was $9.58. I don't understand how the two are so different. Why is that? Using current information 06/07/2022 MSFT closed at $272.50 a share. Using Google finance it says the PE (trailing) is 28.43. How is the PE calculated? Isn't the last year used to calculate that? Shouldn't it be the price of the stock/EPS. $272.50 divided by last year's filing for EPS since June doesn't have any filing yet?
Last year's (2021) Microsoft EPS from their financial filing with SEC is basic $8.12 diluted $8.05. The PE using current stock price with last year's EPS would be PE 33.56
