In tech stocks, TTM EPS growth is a key predictor for forward returns. Microsoft’s TTM EPS grew 14% year-over-year, signaling resilience despite macroeconomic tightening. Many growth investors compare the TTM price-to-sales ratio to spot mispriced opportunities. Judson Althoff, who has been running Microsoft's global sales organization, is stepping up as CEO of the company's commercial business. He'll now lead a new commercial leadership team that pulls together voices from engineering, sales, marketing, operations, and finance to help steer product strategy and execution. It’s not uncommon to perform several TTM analyses to compare against each other. The reason is similar to the reason investors will use a single trailing 12-month analysis. By pulling multiple TTM results, you can get a year-over-year comparison of how a company has performed over several years. Again, this gives you a moving data set that can give a sense of the firm’s momentum and direction. Metals and mining stocks rely on TTM EBITDA to measure raw profitability. Copper producers have TTM EBITDA margins at 34% in 2024, aligning with surging global infrastructure investments that keep demand high.
