2026-01-01–2026-06-30 · ratios from the same reported period
Profit includes accounting items that may not involve cash today. Operating cash flow measures cash from operations; capital spending covers the reported investment measure. These ratios help compare scale, but industry, seasonality and one-time items still matter. They are not a breakdown that adds to $100.
Business segments & other
Reported net losses include acquisition and research-related charges; they should not be treated as recurring daily cash losses. Segment shares are calculated from consolidated revenue for the same period.

5.1% change in latest-quarter revenue from the comparable year-earlier quarter.
-16.9% net margin for the reported 181-day period. One-time gains or charges can affect this measure.

How we arrived at the score
Cash scores use cash ÷ liabilities: at least 0.5 scores 9, 0.25 scores 8, 0.1 scores 6; otherwise 4. Revenue growth scores: at least 30% scores 9, 10% scores 8, non-negative scores 6; otherwise 3. Net margin scores: at least 20% scores 9, 10% scores 8, non-negative scores 6; otherwise 3. Cash after investment ÷ revenue scores: at least 15% scores 9, 5% scores 8, non-negative scores 6; otherwise 3. Future outlook is an editorial score. The weighted result is 5.35, rounded to 5. These thresholds and weights are judgment choices, not statistically validated probabilities. The assessment uses data through 2026-06-30; it does not update each second.

How World Numbers calculates estimatesHow the estimates work
We divide each reported flow by its actual 181-day reporting period. The daily rate is spread evenly over elapsed UTC time and resets at midnight. Refreshing the page does not restart the counter. The next-calendar-quarter illustration holds that pace unchanged; it is not live sales or a company forecast. Annual executive pay is spread across the current calendar year, including leap-year day counts. Stock awards, balances, employees and shares are not current payroll or live counts. Company-specific limitations: Reported net losses include acquisition and research-related charges; they should not be treated as recurring daily cash losses.
