Evolution of the BPA

Evolution of the BPA in the past, and its forecast in the future, play a big role on the stock exchange courts. The BPA evolves/moves of course according to:
  • evolution of the Bottom line of the company, which occurs in a more or less regular or fast way, according to whether it is a question of a defensive Action, of a cyclic Action, a Action of growth
  • evolution of the number of actions within the framework of financial transactions (capital growth, repurchase of actions, Fusion-acquisition…) involving phenomena of dilution or relution.

The advertisement of a rise or lowers unexpected BPA is called a " alarm on bénéfice". It generally involves a strong immediate variation of the stock exchange price.
