In most cases, no. It was a shock for me coming from the UK.
If you have access to a platform like Orbis, you can check just in case.
You can also Google company name + revenue, maybe you’ll get lucky and the company website or a press release will mention something.
Otherwise, you can use proxies for scale (e.g. number of employees on LinkedIn, Glassdoor size ranges, website traffic on SEMrush etc.)

DnB may have some info, if you have access to it

I do, but it’s only estimated and says nothing about development over time or profitability

Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post
