Plain-English Guide
How to read Revenue on this page
Revenue is the sales a company reports from customers before most expenses are subtracted.
Why people care
People start here to understand business scale and whether demand is growing before they ask about margins or cash flow.
How to read it
Check the latest reported period first, then compare the same quarter or year against prior periods so seasonality does not distort the story.
Compare next
Compare revenue with gross profit, operating income, and operating cash flow to see whether sales are turning into healthy economics.
Revenue can jump because of acquisitions, pricing changes, or revenue-recognition rules, and reporting periods may differ across companies.

| ROE | 15 | 8% to 25% |
| ROA | 10 | 2% to 10% |

- TTM Net Income / Average Equity (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
- TTM Net Income / Average Assets (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
- TTM NOPAT / Average Invested Capital, where NOPAT=Operating Income*(1-tax rate), Invested Capital=Equity+Total Debt-Cash & ST Investments
