Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Piper Sandler Companies by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average outstanding shares to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and restricted shares. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per common share.

The computation of EPS, adjusted to reflect the impact of the Stock Split, is as follows:
