Dividend Per Share (DPS)<\/a><\/strong> is the amount of money a company gives its shareholders<\/a> for each share they own<\/strong>.
It’s like the company saying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Thank you for investing in us—here’s your share of the profit!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is DPS in Simple Words?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you own shares<\/a> in a company and the company makes a profit, it may share a part of that profit with you<\/strong>.
This shared profit is called a dividend<\/a><\/strong>, and the amount you get per share<\/strong> is called DPS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DPS Formula<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

DPS = Total Dividend Paid ÷ Total Number of Outstanding Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It shows how much dividend you’ll get for every share you hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
