Declining EPSA negative EPS growth rate signals pressure on per-share earnings that could stem from lower profitability, one-offs, or mix shifts. Persistent EPS decline can constrain reinvestment, dividend capacity, and investor confidence unless reversed by sustained margin or revenue improvement.

While retainers help, this mix makes multi-quarter forecasting harder, increases staffing and utilization risk, and can amplify volatility in slower demand periods.
