Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 31 symbols in the Utilities sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light yellow: below sector

+6.2% per year, last 5 years

Sector Utilities: median +6.5% (31 symbols)

What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 6.2% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+6.5%).

* Q4 derived: fiscal year minus the 9-month value (EPS cannot be derived this way); may be distorted by restatements.

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
