Why do British companies have such low EPS compared to share price?

#1
I have seen companies such as Burberry and Hargreaves Lansdown PLC with a share price of over a thousand pounds but the EPS is less than a pound.

What is the reason for such huge discrepancies?

Edit:
Publish a thought and get the answer by yourself: The price is in pence not pounds.

Your name is Steve are you from UK?..:confused: Most people don't know about Indian companies EPS and you are asking British companies EPS. Talking about Pounds and Pence. This reminds me Johny Lever Joke in Filmfare " Yahan saala Remo kya bolta hey wo samaj me nahi aata aur ye Michel Jackson ki baat karta hey" :p
