Net Income History Chart
Chart any stock's annual net income alongside its year-over-year growth in one view. Up to ten fiscal years of data, auto-populated from Yahoo Finance. Pair it with the FCF history chart and the EPS history chart for the complete earnings picture.
How to Read Net Income Trends
Net income is the bottom line — total revenue minus all costs, interest, and taxes. It is the headline profitability figure that determines whether a company is actually making money for its shareholders. Tracking it over ten fiscal years reveals whether the business is compounding profits, treading water, or deteriorating, and the orange growth line lets you spot acceleration and deceleration early.
The annual view strips out seasonal noise that makes quarterly figures hard to read directly. Watch for years where net income drops while revenue grows — that squeeze usually signals rising costs, interest expenses on new debt, or one-time charges. Compare net income to free cash flow in the FCF history chart to see how much of the reported profit is actually turning into cash.
To put the profit in per-share context, see the EPS history chart. To turn the earnings into a valuation, use the P/E calculator or run a full revenue history chart alongside to see both the top and bottom lines moving together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the net income history chart show?
It plots a company's annual net income as bars — in billions or millions of dollars — with an orange line tracking the year-over-year growth rate. Up to ten fiscal years of data is displayed oldest-first so you can read the profitability trend left to right.
How is net income different from EPS?
Net income is the total dollar profit attributable to shareholders after all expenses, taxes, and interest. Earnings per share (EPS) divides that same profit by the share count. Net income is the better measure of a company's absolute earning power; EPS is better for comparing per-share returns across companies or periods where the share count has changed due to buybacks or issuances.
How is YoY growth calculated here?
Year-over-year growth is (current year net income − prior year net income) ÷ the absolute prior year net income, expressed as a percentage. Because net income can be negative in a loss year, the absolute value of the prior period is used so the growth rate reflects the magnitude of change rather than reversing sign unexpectedly. The oldest period always shows a dash — there is no prior year to compare against.
