Is there something I don't understand about the EPS numbers you use?
They don't match those reported by the companies. For example, for the last three reporting periods GE reports:

GE EPS Actual 0.43 0.55 0.39 0.47

Qtr Chg % 27.91% -29.09% 20.51%
Worden EPS Chg -43.10% 13.50% 6.80%

The EPS Percent Change values do not represent a percent change from the previous quarter, but from the comparable quarter during the previous year:

EPS Percent Change (Latest Q) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before. Timely stocks will usually have strong recent quarterly earnings to validate the annual earnings strength. This reads in percentage.

EPS Percent Change (2nd Q back) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before.

EPS Percent Change (3rd Q back) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before.

EPS Percent Change (4th Q back) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I actually stumbled across Craig's post of definitions later in the day and realized the difference.
