Period: FY (fiscal year) or Q (quarterly)

查询前请确定以下信息：

Ticker：股票代码（例如：AAPL、MSFT、GOOGL）
Records：要检索的期数（例如：5年）
Period：FY（财年）或Q（季度）

2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP

Analysis Tips

分析技巧

Revenue vs Net Income divergence: If Net Income grows faster than Revenue, the company is improving margins or reducing costs.
Operating leverage: When Operating Income grows faster than Revenue, fixed costs are being spread over more sales.
Margin compression: If Cost of Revenue grows faster than Revenue, margins are declining.
Consistency: Look for companies with consistent positive growth across all metrics.
Trend reversals: A switch from negative to positive growth often signals a turnaround.

营收与净利润背离：如果净利润增长速度快于营收，说明公司正在改善利润率或降低成本。
经营杠杆：当营业利润增长速度快于营收时，固定成本正被分摊到更多销售额上。
利润率压缩：如果营收成本增长速度快于营收，说明利润率正在下降。
一致性：寻找所有指标均保持持续正增长的公司。
趋势反转：从负增长转为正增长通常标志着公司业绩好转。
