In assessing sector growth, it is important to recognize that not all growth is equal. An upward growth trend that fluctuates erratically due to business churn (i.e., opening and closing of businesses) is not stable growth. Consequently, it is useful to look at growth in relation to growth volatility. Ideally, it is best to see both (1) positive and (2) stable sales growth year-over-year.

Note 1: Annual growth rates in excess of 100 percent were considered outliers and were reduced to 100 percent to avoid skewing the averages.
Note 2: Profit growth is the percentage change from one year to the next. Profit growth is not provided if either the latest period or the year-ago period contains a net loss. If a company posts a profit in the latest period against a loss in the year-ago period, the percent change is represented as a “P.” Similarly, if a company posts a loss in the latest period against a profit in the year-ago period, the percent change is represented as an “L.” Note 3: “—” indicates that the data is not meaningful as the sector posted losses in all periods.”
