What This Prompt Does

Analyzes financial performance over the past year to uncover meaningful trends in revenue, expenses, profit margins, and other key financial indicators.

Tips

Break Down by Category: Review trends not just at a high level, but by product line, region, customer segment, or acquisition channel for deeper insight.
Look at Rate of Change: Focus on percentage growth or decline month-over-month or quarter-over-quarter to reveal acceleration or slowing in key areas.
Isolate Anomalies: Use contextual events (e.g., promotional spikes, product launches, external disruptions) to separate temporary swings from sustainable trends.
Compare to Market Benchmarks: Cross-reference your internal data with external benchmarks to understand whether trends are company-specific or industry-wide.
Use Visuals for Clarity: Create graphs or dashboards that highlight trend lines, peak periods, and performance inflection points.
