Ventes 2005 : 5 047 000 €
Ventes 2006 : 5 804 000 € (+12.5 %)
Tendance 2007 sur la même valeur
I am having to take this a bit out of context, as that is how I am seeing it (translating a spreadsheet and not much surrounding info, unfortunately). Obviously, they are talking about their sales figures over the last 2 years and the trend for this year... but I am wondering exactly what 'sur la même valeur' means here and how it should be translated. Any financial experts out there? Thanks in advance for any help.

similar trend
If this is all there is, then it can only mean one thing: that the trend in 2007 is also growth of around 12.5%.

on (with) the same valuation (process)
I do not like value as a set objective thing while valuation implies equivalences and computing correspondances! i certinaly do niot have THE answer but think might help!!! In statiscal terms (as for a forecast, which seems to be the case here, valuation as appraisal (more or less exact) or value would seem more in order.Sorry for just clues and directions and no answer but trying together seems best even if not THE good one!!! :).
Discussion
I would say this can only mean "based on the same level of growth", as it's talking about the 2007 trend (forecast). If you want to be doubly sure, you could always check with the client.
