    It only has certain stocks on that Screener site. None that I want to look at. Want to look at U.S. companies. Where can I get similar info for U.S. stock exchange companies?

    Hello, In your point 2 – Now get the total number of outstanding shares from latest quarterly fillings or from money control – Calculate diluted EPS , make sure you take latest outstanding shares.
    Do you take the number of outstanding shares for this year and use it for calculations for all previous years?
