Revenue Growth

Revenue growth is how much a company's total sales increase from one period to the next, usually measured year-over-year. It's one of the first things investors look at because a company that's selling more stuff is generally healthier and more valuable than one that's stagnating. You'll see revenue growth mentioned in earnings reports, analyst discussions, and stock research—it's basically the top-line indicator of whether a business is actually expanding. For example, if TechCorp sold $100 million worth of products last year and $120 million this year, that's 20% revenue growth. Fast growth can be exciting, but it's worth asking *how* sustainable it is and whether the company is actually profitable while growing.
