Key Takeaways

  • Revenue grew 7.38% YoY to $21.24B, marking a significant acceleration from the previous four quarters.
  • Net Income saw a modest YoY increase of 4.17%, though it fell 8.77% sequentially from Q2 2026.
  • Operating margins fell to 21.55% as revenue growth was offset by a disproportionate rise in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
  • The cost of revenue increased to $10.72B, but remained stable as a percentage of sales (50.5%) compared to the prior year period (49%).
  • Non-operating income provided a $537M boost to the bottom line, significantly higher than the $160M seen in the prior quarter.
  • Diluted shares outstanding decreased to 2,417M, down from 2,450M in the same quarter last year, reflecting ongoing share repurchases.

Outlook
