Sales Q/Q

Revenue growth, latest quarter against the year-ago quarter

One of the 61 measures in Stock Scorer, under Growth — Is the business getting bigger, and is it getting more profitable?

How it is worked out

Latest quarter's revenue against the same quarter a year earlier

Against the year-ago quarter rather than the previous one, so a seasonal business does not read as a trend. One quarter of evidence instead of four, so noisier — and the first place a turn appears.

How to read it

a quarter of the evidence the trailing-twelve-month measure uses, so noisier. It is also the only place a turn shows before three more quarters have buried it

Whether it counts

This measure is not counted by default. It can be added to Growth on the dashboard, and it then takes its share of that dimension.
