Issuer financials
What the company reports, next to what the desk trades. Statements come from Yahoo Finance and are printed in the currency the issuer reports in.
Statements are in USD, the currency this issuer reports in. The perp price at the top of this page is a USDC quote on trade.xyz: the same unit, a different thing.

Margins
Margin per period is computed here from two published lines: gross profit over revenue, operating income over revenue, net income over revenue. The source publishes only trailing twelve-month ratios, which are in the table below. A period with no revenue gets no point.
| Period ending | Gross margin | Operating margin | Net margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-30 | 53.1% | 16.3% | 20.1% |
| 2026-03-31 | 53.8% | 21.8% | 69.5% |
| 2025-12-31 | 54.6% | 27.5% | 24.5% |
| 2025-09-30 | 55.3% | 26.2% | −27.7% |
| 2025-06-30 | 55.6% | 26.6% | 25.7% |
| Period ending | Gross margin | Operating margin | Net margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-09-30 | 55.4% | 28.0% | 12.5% |
| 2024-09-30 | 56.2% | 26.3% | 26.0% |
| 2023-09-30 | 55.7% | 24.1% | 20.2% |
| 2022-09-30 | 57.8% | 35.9% | 29.3% |

Analyst recommendations
Counts as the source publishes them, for the month shown. Ratings are the analysts' own, not the desk's, and the desk does not weight them.
Average score is the source's own scale: 1 is strong buy, 5 is strong sell.
| Month | Strong buy | Buy | Hold | Sell | Strong sell | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| this month | 2 | 10 | 22 | 1 | 2 | 37 |
| 1 month ago | 2 | 9 | 23 | 1 | 2 | 37 |
| 2 months ago | 2 | 10 | 23 | 1 | 2 | 38 |
| 3 months ago | 2 | 10 | 22 | 3 | 2 | 39 |
Analyst price targets
Where the analysts polled above see the price of the security going. Their numbers, not the desk's, and the desk neither weights them nor trades them.
| Measure | As published |
|---|---|
| Average | $194.77 |
| Median | $175.00 |
| Lowest | $100.00 |
| Highest | $400.00 |
Targets are in USD, the currency the security is quoted in. That is the source's own answer, not a guess from the ticker's country: the price the source prints beside the targets matches the quote, and that is what fixes their base. Targets and the perp price are both in dollars, so there is nothing to convert.
Next earnings
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Date | 2026-10-29 |
| EPS estimate | $2.17 |
| EPS range | $2.09 … $2.48 |
| Revenue estimate | $10.1B |
The date is the source's estimate, not a date the company confirmed. Date read from yahoo finance (cli). The two transports disagree by a day on purpose: one answers in exchange-local time, the other in UTC, so the date and its flag always travel together from the same answer.
