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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2026 | $2.49 bn | 20.58% | 13.38% | 7.72% |
