Year-over-year revenue growth compares the latest period's revenue to the same period a year earlier. It's the simplest read on business momentum — before any of the cost, margin, or capital-structure decisions that determine how much of that growth reaches shareholders. Fisclear tracks this as a sector median, refreshed monthly, rather than as a per-stock figure.
The formula
Revenue (This Year) − Revenue (Last Year)Revenue (Last Year)
= YoY Growth %
Why it matters
- —Sustained double-digit growth is one of the strongest predictors of long-term shareholder returns — more than any single valuation ratio.
- —Growth driven by acquisitions or one-off contracts is less durable than organic, repeatable growth — check the source.
- —Best compared to the sector median: 5% growth is strong for a utility, weak for a software company.
How to read it
| < 0% | Revenue shrinking — investigate why before anything else |
