Denominator for diluted earnings per share 850  856  860 
Basic Earnings Per Share $ 6.56  $ 6.76  $ 7.81

Diluted earnings per share for 2025, 2024 and 2023 exclude the effect of 1.4, 0.5 and 0.3 million shares, respectively, of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options because such effect would be antidilutive.
