Over the past three fiscal years, the company has demonstrated robust revenue growth, with a consistent increase at a CAGR of 11.0%, rising from $18.37 billion in 2023 to $22.63 billion in 2025. This growth has been accompanied by a significant improvement in profitability, as evidenced by the operating margin's expansion by 3.9 percentage points from 12.6% to 16.5%, and the net margin's increase by 2.4 percentage points from 10.6% to 13.0%. The company's earnings per share (EPS) also saw a substantial rise, growing at a remarkable CAGR of 29.8%, from $5.58 to $9.40. Despite these achievements, the gross margin experienced some volatility, declining by 3.4 percentage points over the period. Cash flow dynamics were notably inconsistent, with operating cash flow (OCF) swinging from a negative $13.21 billion in 2024 to a positive $5.35 billion in 2025, and free cash flow (FCF) turning positive in 2025 at $4.29 billion after a significant negative dip in the previous year. The company's net cash position strengthened, with net debt decreasing consistently from -$67.35 billion to -$101.56 billion, indicating an increase in cash reserves. Additionally, the company executed a strategic share buyback, reducing the share count by 11.5%, which enhanced per-share value creation. However, liquidity remains a concern with a current ratio of 0.20, and interest coverage is thin at 0.43x, suggesting potential challenges in meeting short-term obligations.
