Revenue Growth
The percentage change in a company's total sales (revenue) from one period to the same period a year earlier.
What it is
Revenue growth measures how much a company's top-line sales increased or decreased over time, usually compared year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter. Revenue (also called sales or the "top line") is the money a company brings in before any costs are subtracted. Positive growth means the business is selling more; negative growth (a decline) means it is selling less.
Why it matters
Revenue growth is one of the clearest signals of whether a business is expanding, holding steady, or shrinking, and it often drives a stock's valuation. A common pitfall is treating all growth equally: growth driven by acquisitions, a one-time order, or currency swings is lower-quality than organic growth from selling more to customers. Always check whether margins are holding up, because growth that comes at the cost of heavy discounting or rising expenses may not reach the bottom line.
How it's calculated
Take the current period's revenue, subtract the prior comparable period's revenue, divide by that prior revenue, and multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
