Revenue What customers paid the company over its fiscal year, before any cost, as filed in its annual report. The change is against the year before. Methodology $16.6B +3% on FY2024

Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $2.1B +5% on FY2024

Free cash flow Cash from running the business less what it spent on equipment and buildings: the cash a year actually left behind, which profit alone does not show. Not shown for banks and insurers, whose cash moves with their loans. Methodology $2.4B +16% on FY2024

Margins Each as a share of revenue. Gross: left after the direct cost of what was sold. Net: left after every cost. Free cash: free cash flow over revenue. A margin rising over years means the business keeps more of each dollar it sells. Methodology

Shares outstanding Shares in issue at the year's end. A rising count means each share owns a smaller slice of the company (stock pay, share sales); a falling one, buybacks.

What options price now

Expected 1-month range The at-the-money straddle for the expiry nearest a month out, as a share of the price: the move, either way, the option market is pricing by then. The range is the price plus and minus that move; the stock ends inside it a little more often than not. Methodology
$235 – $253 ±3.8% by Nov 20, 2026
Swings expected vs recent The daily swings the options are priced for (implied volatility) against the swings the stock actually had over the last 20 sessions (realised volatility). Bigger means options charge for more movement than the stock has been delivering; smaller, less. On a contract row, that contract's own implied volatility over the stock's realised. Methodology
Smaller 19.0% priced · 26.4% recent
Next month vs later At-the-money implied volatility for 8-45 day expiries over 46-90 day ones: whether options price the coming month as choppier or calmer than the two after it. Ahead of a report it usually reads choppier, and the extra comes out once the report is out. Methodology
Calmer
Crash protection What options that pay off in a fall cost against options that pay off in a rise (the 25-delta skew), compared with this company's own normal - the median of its stored nightly readings, once there are 20 - and with five sessions ago. Protection costs a little more than upside on most shares. More than usual means readers of the chain are paying up to insure against a drop; it does not say which way the stock will go. Methodology
past week: costs less
Positioning
Premium traded
$214,690 calls $202,028 · puts $12,662 · latest session
Puts against calls, by premium Money spent on puts divided by money spent on calls. Measured in dollars rather than contracts on purpose: counting contracts treats a hundred cheap lottery tickets as more meaningful than one large position, which is backwards. Methodology
0.06× -0.65 over the week
Open interest added The change over five sessions in option positions left open overnight, calls and puts. A rise means positions were added. It cannot say whether they were bought or sold, so more calls is not a vote for a rise: a call is as often sold against shares already held. Methodology
calls +930 · puts +620 past week

For options traders: ATM IV 19.0% (-2.1% 1w) · 1m ÷ 3m IV 0.96 · 25Δ skew 1.9 pts · Net GEX $3.6M
