What is quarterly?

Quarterly refers to a period of three months or a quarter of a year. It is often used in financial reporting as a way to show performance over a shorter period of time. Companies may release quarterly reports to update shareholders on earnings, revenue, and other financial metrics. Quarterly reports may also include a summary of company activities, market trends, and future plans. The quarters in a year are typically labeled Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, with Q1 starting in January and Q4 ending in December. Quarterly data can be useful for monitoring trends, identifying areas of potential growth or improvement, and making strategic business decisions.
