| Abstract: | Earnings per share reporting requirements for Canadian firms with complex capital structures result in a dual presentation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share. The fully diluted presentation reflects the accountant's professional judgement in determining materiality of dilution and the reinvestment rate of cash proceeds from exercises of variants, rights and options. It is examined, whether these earnings data are useful in the sense of explaining common stock returns. A sample of Canadian firms reporting fully diluted earnings per share was selected and a repeated measures design was used by adopting cross sectional simple correlations of common stock returns on various definitions of earnings per share. |
