The consensus is the average of many analysts' forecasts. The more analysts behind a number, the less likely it is to be a single error—but forecast agreement is never a guarantee of the actual result.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current quarter | 2.05 | 1.93 | +6.01% | $1.61 bn | 18 |

Revenue and margins quarter by quarter
Margin shows how much of sales a company retains. Rising revenue with shrinking margins means growth is coming at the expense of profitability—and that's usually more interesting than sales growth alone.
| Quarter | Revenue | Gross margin | Operating margin | Net margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2026 | $1.58 bn | 84.90% | 28.40% | 23.17% |
| March 31, 2026 | $1.47 bn | 85.45% | 29.26% | 22.77% |
| December 31, 2025 | $1.44 bn | 86.90% | 32.30% | 26.95% |
| September 30, 2025 | $1.34 bn | 86.39% | 33.82% | 21.45% |
