A 10-company real estate earnings tally showed revenue rising year over year at six firms, while four beat estimates, offering readers two distinct measures of company performance.
The six companies with year-over-year revenue growth represented 60% of the group. That rate shows how broadly increases were spread across the tally, without stating the amount by which any individual company’s revenue changed.
Four firms beat revenue estimates, or 40% of the companies counted. This estimate comparison is separate from the growth measure: one tracks results against estimates, while the other compares revenue with the year-earlier period.
