Projected Revenue Growth
Although profits growth is likely the best sign of a firm’s financial health, if a company is unable to raise its revenues, nothing occurs as such. After all, it’s practically hard for a business to sustainably improve profitability without also expanding revenues. Therefore, it’s crucial to understand a company’s potential for revenue development.
For Merck, the $13.8 billion average sales forecast for the upcoming quarter indicates a year-over-year drop of -13.2%. The forecasts of $58.51 billion and $62.47 billion for the current and following fiscal years, respectively, show movements of -1.3% and +6.8%.
