Hi,
Anyone knows the difference:
A. Earnings Per Share Trailing Twelve Months
B. Earnings Per Share Last Four Quarters
I need to calculate the Trailing P/E for a specified share/stock.
According to http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/trailingpe.asp, the Trailing P/E ratio is equal to "Current Share Price / Earnings Per Share Trailing Twelve Months".
But I have a little confusion about the "last four quarters" and "trailing twelve months". Are they the same thing or different thing?
Please help, thanks.
