EBIT Y/Y

Operating profit growth, trailing twelve months against the prior twelve

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

Operating income, trailing twelve months against the prior twelve

Growth in the profit line rather than the top line, so widening margins count as well as extra volume. Off a small or negative base it swings hard.

How to read it

The XBRL tags behind it

These are the element names looked for in a filing, in order. The first one a company reports is the one used, and the company page names which it was — so any figure here can be checked against the filing it came from.

• OperatingIncomeLoss
• ProfitLossFromOperatingActivities

Whether it counts
