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. Over the last five years, T. Rowe Price grew its revenue at a weak 1.4% compounded annual growth rate. This fell short of our benchmarks and is a rough starting point for our analysis.
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. T. Rowe Price’s annualized revenue growth of 5.3% 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, T. Rowe Price’s revenue grew by 8.3% year on year to $1.91 billion, missing Wall Street’s estimates.
