Broadcom FY2025 Earnings: $63.9B in Revenue, and a Net Income That Nearly Quadrupled to $23.1B

Broadcom's FY2025: $63.9B revenue (+23.9%) and GAAP net income of $23.1B, up 292% from $5.9B — but decomposing the $17.2B swing shows revenue growth explains only 72% of it, with roughly $4.8B coming from a tax provision flipping to a $397M benefit plus one-time restructuring and discontinued-operations reversals. The durable signals are Infrastructure Software's operating margin rebounding to 76.8%, above its pre-VMware baseline, and AI semiconductor revenue guided to roughly double to $8.2B. Rebuilt line by line in a public Beancount ledger, FY2021–FY2025.

Circle Q1 2026: $694M in Revenue, and Most of It Never Stays

Circle's Q1 2026 revenue was $694.1M (+20% YoY) with USDC in circulation at $77.0B, but $405.4M — 58.4% — went to distribution partners, leaving an RLDC margin of 41%. Reserve income is 94% of revenue, so the top line tracks short-term interest rates. Rebuilding Circle's books in a public Beancount ledger also shows FY2025 was a net-loss year (−$70M), driven by a one-time $503.4M IPO compensation charge in Q2.

MiniMax FY2025 Earnings: $79M in Revenue, and a $1.9 Billion Loss That Isn't What It Looks Like

MiniMax's first annual report as a listed company shows FY2025 revenue of $79.0M (+158.9% YoY) and gross margin up to 25.4%, alongside an IFRS net loss of $1.87B — but $1.59B of that loss is a non-cash fair-value remeasurement of convertible redeemable preferred shares that converted to equity at the January 9, 2026 Hong Kong listing. Adjusted net loss grew only 2.7%, from $244.2M to $250.9M. A public Beancount ledger of FY2022–FY2025 shows exactly where the paper loss sits and why it disappears in FY2026.

NVIDIA Q1 FY2027: $81.6B Revenue, and $15.9B of Net Income That Isn't From Chips

NVIDIA's Q1 FY2027 revenue hit $81.6B (+85% YoY) and net income $58.3B (+211%), but $15.9B of that profit came from marking up its equity portfolio, not selling chips — core net income is closer to $42.4B. The quarter also retired the five-segment breakout for two platforms, Data Center (92% of revenue) and Edge Computing. Full income statement and balance sheet, FY2024–Q1 FY2027, in a public Beancount ledger.

Palantir Q1 2026 Earnings: An 85% Growth Rate, a 53% Net Margin, and a Balance Sheet That Still Says It Has Never Made Money

Palantir's Q1 2026 revenue grew 84.7% to $1.633 billion while total costs grew only 24%, lifting operating margin to 46.2% and net margin to 53.7% — a net margin that exceeds the operating margin because interest income adds $134.6 million and the effective tax rate is just 1.4%, against an accumulated deficit that still stands at $2.69 billion.
