Revenue Growth Rate History Chart
Plot 10 years of annual revenue YoY growth rates for any stock. Bar height is the growth percentage — not the dollar amount — so acceleration and deceleration are immediately visible. Includes 3/5/10-year compound CAGR and a growth trajectory verdict. Pair with the Revenue History Chart for the absolute dollar view, or the Revenue Growth Rate Calculator for a single-year peer benchmark.
How to Read a Revenue Growth Rate Chart
The growth rate chart makes the velocity of revenue expansion visible in a way that a dollar chart cannot. A business growing from $10B to $11B and one growing from $100B to $110B look very different on a revenue chart, but identical on a growth-rate chart — both delivered 10% growth. Conversely, a company holding at $50B in revenue for five years will show a flat dollar chart, but the growth-rate chart will show a consistent string of 0% bars: the stall is unmistakable.
The color coding gives a quick read at a glance: dark green bars (≥20%) signal hyper-growth, light green (10–19.9%) strong growth, yellow (0–9.9%) slow-to-moderate expansion, and red means revenue actually contracted that year. A string of red bars is a structural warning signal; isolated red bars in an otherwise healthy series often coincide with macro shocks or one-time divestitures.
The Growth Trajectory verdict compares the most recent 3-year average growth rate against the prior 2-year average. When the recent window exceeds the prior by more than 3 percentage points, the business is Accelerating — a high-conviction positive signal. The reverse is Decelerating. Check whether the deceleration is gravitational (large base) or structural (losing pricing power, market saturation) before drawing conclusions. Use the DCF calculator to stress-test the terminal growth assumption once you have the trend in hand.
The CAGR pills give a compounded annualised growth rate over 3, 5, and 10 years, computed by chaining the individual year rates. A 10-year CAGR above 15% is rare at scale and worth paying attention to; below 5% for 10 years suggests the growth story has faded. When 3yr CAGR substantially exceeds 10yr CAGR, growth is re-accelerating from a lower base — a pattern common in turnaround situations and post-restructuring recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the revenue growth rate history chart show?
It plots up to 10 years of YoY revenue growth percentages as bars — bar height is the growth rate, not dollar revenue. Bars are color-coded dark green ≥20%, green 10–19.9%, yellow 0–9.9%, red for contraction. A CAGR summary shows compounded growth over 3, 5, and 10 years.
How is the CAGR computed from growth rates?
The CAGR compounds the annual growth rates: ((1+r1)×(1+r2)×…×(1+rN))^(1/N) − 1. This gives the equivalent steady annual rate that would produce the same cumulative result over N years.
What does 'Accelerating' vs 'Decelerating' mean?
'Accelerating' means the average growth rate over the most recent 3 years is more than 3pp above the prior 2-year average. 'Decelerating' is the reverse. 'Steady Growth' means consistent growth above 5% with low volatility.
How is this different from the Revenue History Chart?
The Revenue History Chart shows absolute revenue in dollars. This chart shows only the YoY growth rate percentage each year. The rate view makes acceleration/deceleration easy to spot — patterns that are hard to see when large absolute values compress the earlier bars.
