Revenue Growth
A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Unfortunately, PROG struggled to consistently increase demand as its $2.63 billion of revenue for the trailing 12 months was close to its revenue five years ago. This wasn’t a great result and suggests it’s a low quality business.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. PROG’s annualized revenue growth of 4.8% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, which is encouraging. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, PROG reported year-on-year revenue growth of 19%, and its $719.7 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 0.8%.
