Revenue Growth

Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Corpay grew its revenue at a solid 11.8% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average financials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point for our analysis.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Corpay’s annualized revenue growth of 7.9% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results were respectable. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, Corpay reported year-on-year revenue growth of 13.9%, and its $1.17 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 0.6%.
