Consumer Goods Sector Recorded the Highest EPS Growth

Earnings Per Share (EPS) is a fundamental measure of a company's profitability. It is calculated by dividing the company's net profit by the outstanding shares. 

Investors can glean several insights from EPS, such as: 1) Profitability - Higher EPS indicates greater profitability on a per-share basis. 2) Growth Potential - Increasing EPS over time suggests that a company is effectively growing and managing its resources. 3) Investment Value -Consistently rising EPS can make a company's stock more attractive, indicating good potential for returns.

When examining sector-wide EPS growth in the Qatar Stock Exchange, comparing data from March 31, 2023, to March 31, 2024, the Consumer Goods and Services sector stands out with an impressive 30% growth, far surpassing other sectors. 

Within this sector, Baladna (BLDN) and Mannai Corp (MCCS) are top performers, boasting triple-digit growth rates of 141% and 131%, respectively.

In second place is the Banks and Financial Sector, which recorded a 9% growth. 

The standout performer here is Inma (IHGS) with a remarkable 182% increase in EPS. 

However, not all companies in the Banks and Financial Sector fared well; Qatar Oman (QOIS) saw an 88% decline.
