Shows how fast real profit grows, not just revenue. Ideally it keeps pace with revenue or beats it.
MoatLens tip: When profit grows faster than revenue, that's often a good sign: the company gets more efficient with each extra euro of revenue and earns disproportionately more. But be careful with earnings per share – it can rise from share buybacks alone while the actual business stands still. In industries that swing strongly with the economy, profit also jumps from year to year. Check that the growth comes from the normal business – not from one-off effects.
In MoatLens this explanation sits right next to the number — one tap away. And you see the ten-year trend instead of a single value.
