Understanding Revenue Per Share Five Years

The Revenue Per Share Five Years formula in Excel with MarketXLS helps you quickly evaluate how a company's revenue has trended over a five-year period relative to its average outstanding shares. By leveraging this function, you can:

• Gain insights into long-term revenue growth.
• Compare different companies' long-term performance.
• Make more informed investment decisions based on historical revenue trends.

? Pro Tip: Use this formula as part of a broader financial analysis, combining it with other fundamental metrics like Earnings Per Share (EPS) or Market Capitalization to gain a holistic view of a company's performance.

Syntax and Parameters

Use the RevenueFiveYears function in an Excel cell as shown below:

Return Value

• Returns a numeric value representing the company’s five-year average revenue per share.
• If the symbol is invalid or the license check fails, the function returns "NA".

1. Regular Stock Symbol:

   =RevenueFiveYears("MSFT")

5. Cell Reference:

   =RevenueFiveYears(A1)

? Pro Tip: Combine RevenueFiveYears with other MarketXLS functions like EPS, SharesOutstanding, or MarketCap to build a comprehensive financial dashboard.

Common Questions

1. Why am I getting "NA"?

   • Make sure the symbol is valid (e.g., "MSFT").
   • Check if your MarketXLS license is active.
   • Confirm that your internet connection is stable to fetch data.

2. How frequently is the data updated?

   • The data is pulled from MarketXLS servers. Updates may vary based on the provider, but typically fundamental data is refreshed quarterly or annually.

3. Can I use this function for historical trend analysis?

   • Yes. By placing different symbols in multiple cells, you can quickly compare multiple companies’ five-year revenue per share trends side by side.

4. Are there any performance considerations?

   • Generally, performance overhead is minimal as the data retrieval is quick. However, if you use a large number of MarketXLS formulas in one spreadsheet, consider refreshing them in batches to optimize performance.
