Sales Growth

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years.

With $1.47 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Inter Parfums is a small consumer staples company, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from economies of scale and negotiating leverage with retailers. On the bright side, it can grow faster because it has a longer list of untapped store chains to sell into.

As you can see below, Inter Parfums’s sales grew at an impressive 16.3% compounded annual growth rate over the last three years. This is a great starting point for our analysis because it shows Inter Parfums’s demand was higher than many consumer staples companies.

This quarter, Inter Parfums reported modest year-on-year revenue growth of 4.6% but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 2.8%.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4.7% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. This projection doesn't excite us and implies its products will see some demand headwinds. At least the company is tracking well in other measures of financial health.
