I see where the diluted EPS on Yahoo is $1.03. I guess payout ratios are based on the diluted number.

It can be confusing since Yahoo analyst estimates for the same stock show much higher actual reported earnings.

I'm not sure why there is such a difference between the reported earnings and the diluted earnings but they are considered to have aggressive accounting.

I think I will pass on it.
