Revenue
The total money a company earns from selling its products or services before any costs are subtracted.
What it is
Revenue is the top line of the income statement. It is the value of goods sold or services delivered to customers over a period, recognized when the company has fulfilled its obligation to the customer. It is sometimes called sales or turnover.
Why it matters
Revenue shows how much demand a business is actually capturing and is the starting point for every profitability measure below it. A common pitfall is confusing revenue with cash collected: under accrual accounting a sale is recorded when earned, not when the customer pays, so growing revenue does not guarantee incoming cash.
How it's calculated
It is reported directly on the income statement as net of returns, allowances, and discounts; analysts often track it as units sold multiplied by average selling price.
How Quintarthai uses it
Revenue appears in the 10-year income statement on the Financials tab and the 5-year highlights on the Summary of every company page, and you can filter the North-American universe by revenue in the Stock Screener.
