1. Revenue
Revenue refers to the income a company receives from selling goods or services. If the revenue is increasing year by year, there is a possibility that the company is growing. Companies that are growing significantly tend to have continuously increasing revenue.
2. Profit
Profit is the money left after deducting expenses from revenue. It is important to pay attention to 'Net Income,' as checking if net profits are increasing can indicate whether a company is growing efficiently.
3. Profit Margin
It is an indicator that shows how much profit is obtained in relation to revenue. For example, "Operating Margin" represents the percentage of profit obtained from the main business. If the profit margin is high, there is a high possibility of high profitability and growth.

Retail trade revenue refers to the total amount of money for the goods and services sold by the retail industry and service industry.
It is an important economic indicator that shows the trends in personal consumption, which accounts for about 70% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Retail trade revenue is announced monthly by the U.S. Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce.
The announcement date is around the second week of the following month of the target month.
Retail revenue is broadly divided into two categories: the "①automobiles and related components" segment and the "②non-automobile" segment.
The automobile and components division account for approximately 40% of total retail revenue.
The non-automobile division handles products and services other than automobiles, such as clothing, home appliances, furniture, food, beverages, and services.
Retail revenue influences stock prices and the policy of the Federal Reserve Board.
Stock market
When retail sales revenue exceeds financial estimates, it is perceived as a sign of economic expansion, leading to a tendency for the stock market to rise.
Conversely, if retail trade revenue falls below financial estimates, it is seen as a sign of economic slowdown, and stock prices tend to decline.

Based on the outlook of the Bank of Japan's current account balance announced on July 12 for the 16th, there is speculation in the market that intervention in the range of 3 trillion to 4 trillion yen in yen buying was conducted on the night of the 11th.
According to the Bank of Japan's outlook, the decrease due to "fiscal and other factors" reflecting exchange intervention amounts to 3 trillion 170 billion yen. This figure shows a difference of approximately 3 to 4 trillion yen compared to the pre-intervention market estimates.
