Year-over-year ( YOY ) growth is a performance indicator often used by investors to measure financial progress and compare results from one period to another.

YOY growth is the percentage change in a certain metric-like revenues, earnings or customers-from one year to the next.

It helps you evaluate how a stock's main metrics are growing over time and identify any trends or patterns.
