Investing in stocks has always interest me but I do not know where to start,
what to invest, how to invest and as such. Luckily, now I know that my dream of
investing soon will turn into reality as I know more about the fundamentals of stocks.
So here are my top 5 listed companies, I actually randomly pick companies which are
high in EPS and EPS percentages since those are the only term which are familiar for
me. Of course, who would want to invest in unprofitable stocks, no one, because the
main reason for investing is actually the returns that we can get. For this reason, I
based my top 5 listed companies on the earnings per share. EPS is calculated as a
company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting
number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. The higher a company's
EPS, the more profitable it is considered to be.
