Domestic Sales (Historical)
Returns the revenue from the company's home country market. For US-listed companies, this typically represents United States sales.
Understanding the Metric
Domestic sales indicate:
- Home market strength
- US market share (for US companies)
- Core market revenue
- Domestic economic exposure
Combined with foreign sales, this shows the geographic revenue split.

Common Issues & FAQ
What's considered "domestic" for a US company?
For US-listed companies, domestic typically means United States sales. For foreign companies listed in the US (ADRs), domestic refers to their home country.
Why doesn't domestic + foreign = total revenue?
They should approximately equal total revenue. Differences may arise from unallocated corporate revenue, intercompany eliminations, or different reporting standards.
How do I calculate domestic revenue percentage?
Domestic % = hf_Domestic_sales() / (hf_Domestic_sales() + hf_Foreign_sales()) * 100. High percentages indicate domestic market dependency.
