Diluted Net EPS (Earnings Per Share) is a financial metric used to indicate the profitability of a company and it is calculated by dividing the net income of a company by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock.

Diluted Net EPS is considered a more comprehensive measure of a company's earnings than basic EPS because it takes into account the potential dilution effect of outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible bonds, and other convertible securities that may be exercised or converted into common stock.

The calculation of Diluted Net EPS assumes that all outstanding convertible securities are converted into common stock, which could potentially increase the number of outstanding shares and decrease the earnings per share.

Diluted Net EPS is an important measure used by investors and financial analysts to evaluate the performance of a company over time and to compare it to the performance of other companies in the same industry. Companies with higher earnings per share tend to be considered more valuable, as they are generating more profits relative to the size of their business.

In the financial industry, Diluted Net EPS is used in various financial models and valuation techniques to make investment decisions, such as calculating the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio, which compares the market price of a share to the earnings generated per share.
