Revenue growth

How fast sales are rising compared with a year earlier.

Why it matters

Growth is what lets a company be worth more next year. Slowing growth often hits the share price before profits fall.

How to read it

Compare the last year with the five year average to see if growth is speeding up or slowing down.
