Trailing 12 months (TTM) is used to describe the past 12 consecutive months of a company's performance data when reporting financial figures. Using these figures provides a picture of a business's current financial performance rather than its annual filings and reports, which may contain outdated information. The 12 months do not necessarily coincide with a fiscal-year ending period. TTM figures are produced for various metrics, including earnings, earnings per share (EPS), price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, and yield.
