Full origin of TTM →Frequently asked questions
What does TTM mean in stocks?
Trailing twelve months — the sum of the last four reported quarters, ending whenever the most recent one did. It gives a current, full-year picture without waiting for the fiscal year to close, which is why TTM earnings are used to calculate the widely quoted trailing P/E ratio.
What is the difference between TTM and LTM?
None. Trailing twelve months and last twelve months are the same measure; TTM is more common in American equity research and LTM in investment banking, particularly in Europe.
What is the difference between TTM and fiscal year?
A fiscal year is a fixed twelve-month reporting period set by the company. TTM is a rolling twelve months that always ends at the latest quarter, so it moves forward each quarter and reflects recent performance more quickly.
