Trailing Twelve Months - TTM

  

See: Trailing Earnings.

Public companies report earnings, revenues, cash flow...all kinds of stuff quarterly. Investors want to know after their latest report where the company is trading, relative to its last four quarters' reports.

That's what this TTM thing is all about, as it makes "current" the metrics.

See: 10Q.
