Question

Can you help me to understand these percentages? I am not sure if they are increasing or decreasing? I think the company is doing very well and

these are a good sign of it.This is net profit margin rates. I don't know if -0.0111001 is more than -0.01161361 or if these 2 are bigger than -0.01102878.

Earnings per share:

-0.2757.......-0.2701.....-0.2362 . Same question: is this in descending order? IS it a good thing that these earnings per share would be steadily increasing? Or are they decreasing?

RETURN ON EQUITY NET PROFIT MARGIN Earnings Per Share 0.19840.00545 0.0173 0.011101 (0.01161361)(0.01102878) 0.2757 -0.2701 0.2362

Explanation / Answer

-0.1 is more than -0.2, As the negative value increases it is adverse to investor.

similarly as value crosses -0.1 and reaches -0.2 it means that the value is decreasing

in the given case -0.0111001 is greater than -0.1161361 and -0.01102878 is greater than both the above values

Similarly EPS of -0.2362 is greater than 0.2701 is greater than 0.2757. Three values are in ascending order not in ascending order. It is can treated as good because the EPS is steadily increasing
