Revenue and net income may refer to different reporting periods. Read each period before comparing them; these are dated disclosures, not a live earnings feed.

Operating performance: earnings, orders and cash flow

Q2 2026 · Period ended 2026-06-30 · Checked (UTC) 2026-09-11

GAAP operating income: 182.237 USD million
Operating cash flow: 226.432 USD million
Product revenue: 935.413 USD million
GAAP gross margin: 33.4 %

Product revenue spans all customers, not just AI. Cash flow is for the quarter, not six months. One positive quarter does not establish durable profitability.

Revenue growth and improving cash flow

Q2 2026 revenue: $1.065bn · +165.5% YoY

Cash generation still relies heavily on customer advances; delivery must follow.

View analysis and sources

Q2 2026 revenue was $1,065.4m, up 165.5%; GAAP gross margin 33.4%; operating cash flow +$226.4m.

Evidence supporting the case

The 2025 cash-burn checkpoint has been followed by positive quarterly cash generation and GAAP operating income of $182.2m.

Risks and limitations

Deferred revenue/customer deposits contributed $211.7m to quarterly cash flow; receivables and contract assets absorbed cash. Track delivery against advances, not just cash inflow.

Revenue rose 165.5% from a year earlier. Operating cash flow was positive in the latest quarter, but customer advances account for a large part of the inflow.

Investment implications: Operating results support the assessment of growing power demand. Follow-up research should verify delivery and profitability of systems covered by customer advances.
Follow-up indicators: Equipment deliveries, cash collection and changes in profit.

Published 2026-07-28 · GAAP means standard accounting rules; operating cash flow tracks business cash, not net profit.
