Inside the Numbers

This chart measures trailing 12-month total revenues. The figures have been updated from the value reported by the company in the most recent preliminary earnings report. This is the most basic representation of a company’s affairs, revealing actual dollar volume in products or services that the company sells.

Banks and insurance companies do not report revenue when they announce preliminary financial results. In such cases, we have substituted the most recent sales figures available.
