The Net Income 5-Year Average represents the average net income of a company over the past five years. This metric helps investors evaluate the long-term profitability and consistency of the company. A higher average net income indicates financial strength and stable performance, while a lower average may signal potential issues with profitability. It provides a clearer view of a company's financial health over time, smoothing out short-term fluctuations and revealing trends. This average is crucial for assessing overall growth potential.
