Pioupiou, Pioupiou, Pioupiou- you still embellish unknowingly, your much aligned cognitive dissonance syndrome.
EPS status is reported by most companies as just that -the amount the company earned broadly speaking.
the PE of a company is just a simple correlation of this.
the PEG is just a combination of both factors to signify if the company is worth while .
the dividend has nothing to do with it, as this is just dependent on payout ratio of EPS . in other words, the EPS of CCP is say 10% higher next year- that includes divvies as you can't create earnings from thin air to pay for your divvies unless you are based in Greece.
