Revenue Growth
A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Voya Financial grew its revenue at a mediocre 6.3% compounded annual growth rate. This was below our standard for the financials sector and is a tough starting point for our analysis.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Voya Financial’s annualized revenue growth of 6.2% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was consistently weak. 
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, Voya Financial reported year-on-year revenue growth of 7.6%, and its $2.03 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 21.3%.
