Each year is the screen re-run against the figures each company had reported by that December, so it is what the answer would have been at the time rather than today’s companies with old numbers. The denominator is companies with usable figures that year, which grows as coverage does.
Fiscal year ends differ between companies; each row shows that company’s own latest annual period. Figures are the filers’ own, normalized from their SEC filings.
This screen runs as net_income IS POSITIVE AND revenue > 1b. Open it in the screener to change the conditions, or read the methodology for how each figure is chosen.
