I've noticed that telechart & IBD do not agree when it come to "EPS Percent Change Latest Qtr".  Looking at WWWW, Telechart says -100% and IBD says 67%.

I'm just using this one as an example, but I've found several.  I'm wondering how that could be?  When I use google to find the EPS, I find that they're negative.  Maybe I'm missing something, I'm new at this.

I don't know how IBD calculates their EPS % Change (Last Qtr).

We have -100% for the EPS % Change Latest Qtr because the EPS for the most recent reported quarter is negative (-0.65) as is the EPS from four quarters ago (-0.21). You really can't calculate percent changes if the starting value isn't positive or the ending value is negative.

Thanks Bruce.  I'm not sure what IBD is doing but I'll try to avoid stocks when Telechart says EPS % is negative.
