CAGR is often found in the financial news, more specifically in merger and acquisition announcements, as well as investor presentations where a longer term perspective is taken than just the current year. You might find a CEO or CFO talking about the CAGR of the attractive markets the company competes in, the commitment the company makes on the CAGR of its revenue, and the resulting CAGR in earnings. What is important to understand is that CAGR is never stand-alone, it’s always the CAGR of something: CAGR of estimated market size, CAGR of revenue, CAGR of Earnings Per Share. Very often, CAGR is applied to a 3-year or 5-year period, to zoom out to the bigger picture of the historical financial performance of a company, or its expected future performance.

What does the acronym CAGR stand for? CAGR is Compound Annual Growth Rate. If you look up the textbook definition of CAGR, it will tell you that CAGR is the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over the time period.
