Revenue

What revenue means and why growth alone does not settle the investment case.

Plain-English definition

Revenue is the money a company earns from its business activity before most expenses are deducted.

Why it matters

Revenue growth can signal demand and scale, but it needs margin and cash-flow context.

Beginner example

A company can show fast revenue growth while still struggling to produce durable profits.

Common misunderstanding
