Sales growth (TTM) compares the sum of all revenues of a company, e.g. for its products or services, within the last 12 months with the sum of all revenues of the previous 12 months. TTM is the abbreviation for “Trailing Twelve Months”. By taking the last 12 months into account, the most recent figures from the last 4 quarterly reports are always taken into account.
The total sales of the last four quarters are divided by the total sales of the respective quarters of the previous year.

Sales growth (TTM) can be used to make a statement about how quickly the company's sales are growing. Such a comparison is particularly suitable for comparing companies from the same sector.
When looking at sales growth, you should also consider the extent to which the growth was organic or due to acquisitions of other companies. In addition, turnover (TTM) should always be considered. Small and fast-growing companies in particular can show high sales growth, but sales can still be very small in absolute terms.
