MOM

What does MOM stand for in business analysis?

Month-over-month

MOM is a financial shorthand that compares a metric from one month to the previous month. Businesses, investors, and analysts use MOM comparisons to track short-term trends across areas such as sales, revenue, website traffic, and customer growth. For example, if a company reports that revenue increased 5% MOM, it means revenue was 5% higher than it was the month before.

Today, MOM is widely used in finance, marketing, e-commerce, and data analytics, and is a quick way to discuss performance and trends in reports and presentations. It helps organizations spot changes more quickly than annual comparisons and can reveal emerging trends before they show up in longer-term data.

Example

how did the website perform in may?
traffic was up 8% mom
nice, that's better than april
yep, we've been trending upward for three straight months
