Is the StockCentral data feed normalized?
Yes. The analysts at our data provider, Morningstar, adjust net income as reported by the company on their Form 10-K or Form 10-Q to calculate fully-diluted, normalized, Earnings Per Share. This figure includes income from continuing operations, less any extraordinary gains/losses or other non-continuing special income or charges, and is calculated using diluted common shares outstanding (adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, which may include convertible debentures, warrants, options, convertible preferred stock, etc.) We make additional adjustments to reflect the impact of taxes on the resulting adjusted net income figures.
