EBIT CAGR

The same operating profit growth compounded over the years on file

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, compounded annually over the fiscal years on file

The steady yearly rate of profit growth over several years. It reads high for a cyclical company recovering, because the first year of the window was the bottom.

How to read it

one year cannot tell a compounder from a rebound off a collapse; over four it can. Reads high for a cyclical recovering, since the starting year was the bottom

Which figures it needs

Computed from 1 figure taken from the filing:

• operating_income

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

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.
