/YOY Full Form
The full form of YOY is Year Over Year.
It’s a simple trick to compare a company's performance without getting fooled by seasonal changes. You take January's revenue this year and put it right next to January's revenue from last year. If a company's profits jumped 20% YOY, it shows genuine growth rather than just a lucky holiday season. Stock analysts throw this term around constantly during quarterly earnings season to see if a business is actually growing faster or losing momentum.
