Gross profit Y/Y

Gross profit growth, latest fiscal year against the prior one

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

Gross profit, latest fiscal year against the prior one

Growth measured after the direct cost of delivering it, so revenue bought by discounting shows up here and not on the top line. Needs a tagged gross profit, which not every filer reports.

How to read it

growth after the cost of delivering it, so it catches revenue bought by discounting — which the top line cannot. Needs a tagged gross profit line, which not every filer reports

Which figures it needs

Computed from 2 figures taken from the filing:

• gross_profit
• cost_of_revenue

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.

• GrossProfit
• CostOfRevenue
• CostOfGoodsAndServicesSold
• CostOfSales
• CostOfGoodsAndServiceExcludingDepreciationDepletionAndAmortization

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.
