What Is Income Statement Growth?
This table presents 29 selected growth fields supplied by FMP for supported companies. These are ratios, not currency amounts: a value of 0.10 corresponds to 10%. A growth field is not the underlying revenue, profit or share count. Compare it with the original statement values before drawing conclusions about a business.
How to Use This Income Statement Growth Tool
- 1
Enter a Stock Symbol
Enter a supported ticker symbol (e.g., AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL) in the Symbol field to look up that company's income statement growth history.
- 2
Choose Annual or Quarterly
Select "Annual" for fiscal-year comparisons or "Quarter" for quarterly records. FMP describes the endpoint as tracking year-over-year changes. Do not infer a quarterly comparison denominator solely from this filter. The limit accepts 1 to 100 returned records.

Analyze Growth Trends
Review the growth rates across revenue, gross profit, operating income, EBITDA, net income, EPS, and more. Positive values (green) indicate a positive ratio while negative values (red) indicate a negative ratio. These colors do not rate whether an expense or loss changed favorably.

Key Income Statement Growth Metrics Explained
Revenue Growth
The percentage change in total revenue compared to the prior period. Compare organic sales changes with acquisitions, currency effects and reporting-period changes; revenue growth alone does not establish profitability or stock value.
Gross Profit Growth
For positive, comparable base values, gross profit growing faster than revenue implies a higher gross margin. It does not identify the cause; check product mix, prices, costs and accounting changes.
EBITDA Growth
The growth rate of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This is not operating cash-flow growth: working capital, cash taxes, cash interest and the specific EBITDA definition can affect comparisons.
Net Income Growth
The percentage change in bottom-line net income. This is the a measure affected by operating performance, tax effects and non-operating items. A small or negative base can make its growth ratio difficult to interpret.
EPS Growth
Earnings per share growth combines net income growth with the effect of share buybacks or dilution. EPS growth is one of the most useful per-share comparisons, but it does not guarantee stock price appreciation. Compare basic and diluted EPS consistently.
Operating Income Growth
Tracks the provider operating-income field. Read the underlying operating profit and revenue together, and separate recurring operations from restructuring or other unusual items.
Check the denominator and the filing
For a positive comparison value, ordinary growth is (current − previous) / previous. Revenue rising from 100 to 110 gives 0.10, or 10%. A margin rising from 20% to 22% rises by 2 percentage points, or 10% relative to its prior value; these are different quantities. The table preserves the provider field and does not replace an undefined zero-base calculation with zero.
Losses, restatements, acquisitions, currency changes and different fiscal calendars can make ratios misleading. A later download may contain revised figures. The reported date does not establish what was available to a trader on that date, so these rows alone are not a point-in-time backtest dataset.
