Quarterly revenue growth year over year; company-wide, not exclusively AI. · TECHi unified data · 2026-03-31

Growth produces accounting profit

Supporting observation: 21.2%

Net margin. A positive figure supports profitability, not necessarily cash generation. · SEC Companyfacts · 2026-09-29T08:30:04.048Z

The business generates cash after investment

Supporting observation: 306.96M

Latest available free cash flow; period-specific, not a forecast. · SEC Companyfacts · 2026-03-31
