Investopedia explains 'Quarter Over Quarter - Q/Q'
For example, suppose that a company reports Q1 earnings of $1 million and Q2 earnings of $1.25 million. Q/Q earnings growth would be ($1,250,000 - $1,000,000)/$1,000,000 = 0.25, or 25%. This demonstrates that the company's earnings have grown, but only the last two quarters have been examined. An investor would want to look at several other quarters to see if this is a trend or just a seasonal or temporary adjustment.
