Revenue is the top-line amount a company reports from its business activity.

## Concept

On grepcent company pages, annual revenue comes from SEC companyfacts and is shown by fiscal year.

## Worked Example: Read Walmart's latest reported revenue

1. Open WMT and find the Financials table.
2. The latest annual revenue point is $713.2 billion for fiscal 2026.
3. This is the starting line for many company calculations, including margins and revenue growth.
