Here’s a quick wrap-up where we break down the performance of key indices, top corporate movers, and the major economic headlines of the day.
Nifty 50 and Sensex rebounded on Tuesday, surging nearly 2%, mirroring the global markets after US President Donald Trump signalled a temporary pause in military strikes against Iran. Consequently, Brent Crude slipped below the $100 mark for the first time in two weeks, while the rupee traded around ₹93.90 against the US Dollar. That said, initial US market optimism was partially pared after Iran denied claims of ongoing peace talks.

What is Earnings Per Share?
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is a fundamental metric that represents the portion of a company’s profit allocated to each outstanding share of stock. While total revenue highlights the sheer scale of a business, EPS cuts through the noise to reveal actual profitability on an individual investor’s level.
It is calculated by dividing a company’s net income by its total number of outstanding shares. Investors rely on EPS to determine a company’s true earning power and overall financial health. The ultimate goal is to identify businesses with a consistent, upward trajectory in their EPS. A steadily growing EPS indicates a highly efficient company capable of generating sustainable value and strong returns for its shareholders.
