Sales - Quarterly

The Sales – Quarterly category provides forward-looking and historical metrics on a company's revenue (sales) trends. These metrics include forecasted and reported sales growth, revenue surprise percentages, and acceleration or deceleration patterns over recent quarters.

Growth rates are calculated year-over-year for each quarter, and forecasts are based on consensus analyst estimates. Historical values are adjusted to exclude one-time items using non-GAAP methods to reflect true operational performance. This category helps assess how consistently a company is growing revenue, whether momentum is accelerating or slowing, and how current forecasts compare to past results — all of which are key signals for anticipating stock movement around earnings season or major growth periods.
