Dear Andrea Viola,

Thank you for your forum post!

It appears you have reversed the calculation of the numerator, and that is causing the negative result.

Also, please note that you appear to have used the EPS (TTM) value and the ninth year value; instead of values from the first three and last three years.

Thank you again for your forum post!
