quality of earnings


Definition
The degree to which earnings are attributed to aspects of the company's business, as opposed to external forces. If a company has a change in earnings derived from a decrease in production costs or an increase in sales, they are said to have a high quality of earnings. If a company's earnings are attributed to outside sources such as inflation, this is seen as low quality of earnings.
