On Yahoo Finance, the abbreviations EPS (ttm) stand for what?

Timothy,
EPS is earnings per share, which is a measure of how much money a company “earns” per share of outstanding stock. This is fairly common measurement, since it lets us compare the company’s performance (measured against itself) over time. What’s not so common is the (ttm), so I assume that’s what you’re probably asking about.
TTM stands for trailing twelve months, so whenever you see this acronym, just mentally add “for the last 12 months”. In this case, this is to clarify what EPS period you’re referring to (for example, year-to-year EPS, this quarter’s EPS, or future estimated EPS which are based on analysts’ estimates). I hope that helps.
