TTM: What It Means in Stock Research

Trailing twelve months: the most recent 12 months of results added together, regardless of fiscal year.

Why this term matters

Financial-statement terms describe how the business itself is doing — how much money comes in, what survives the costs, and how much cash is really left at the end.

In a Monsaic report, you’ll meet ttm in the “Current outlook” section of the simplified read, and the Fundamentals and Balance Sheet analyses of the full report. Inside a report, tapping any underlined term shows this same definition in place — the reading never has to stop for a search.

  • Gross margin The share of each sales dollar left after the direct cost of making the product.
