Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 97 symbols in the Technology sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light yellow: below sector

+8.0% per year, last 5 years

Net income (total)

Light yellow: below sector

+7.2% per year, last 5 years

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net margin

Light yellow: below sector

11.3% last fiscal year
