Revenue Growth
A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Unfortunately, BGC’s 6.9% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was mediocre. This wasn’t a great result compared to the rest of the financials sector, but there are still things to like about BGC.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. BGC’s annualized revenue growth of 19.5% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated.
