How to read CAGR

CAGR smooths uneven growth into one annual rate. It does not show volatility, but it is useful for comparing options over the same time horizon.

Use it for

Stocks, SaaS MRR, ecommerce revenue, subscribers, app installs and website traffic.

Do not confuse with

Simple average growth, total return or one-year return snapshots.

Formula

CAGR = (Ending Value / Starting Value)^(1 / Years) - 1

The result is shown as a percentage per year. If your value shrank over time, the CAGR will be negative.
