- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin demonstrates a consistent upward trend from September 2019 onward, increasing from 67.78% and reaching a peak near 69.89% by March 2024. Following this peak, a slight decrease is observable, stabilizing around 68.82% to 69.07% toward mid-2025. The overall range remains relatively narrow, indicating stable cost management relative to revenue during the period.
- Operating Profit Margin
- The operating profit margin shows a marked improvement, beginning at 37.03% in late 2019 and ascending steadily to 45.62% by mid-2025. This upward trajectory reflects enhanced operational efficiency or favorable business conditions, with gradual gains across all periods. Minor fluctuations occur but the general pattern is one of consistent improvement.
- Net Profit Margin
- Net profit margin similarly experiences growth from 30.96% in late 2019, peaking around 38.51% in late 2021. After this point, a gradual decline ensues, reaching approximately 33.05% by late 2022, followed by a recovery to about 36.43% in early 2024. Subsequently, it stabilizes near the mid-30% range through mid-2025. This pattern suggests periods of variable net expense or tax effects despite underlying profitability gains.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- The return on equity showed strong growth from 37.43% at the end of 2019, peaking at 44.67% in late 2020. However, it then presents a sustained downward trend, decreasing steadily to 29.65% by early 2025. This decline indicates diminishing efficiency in generating returns for shareholders, possibly due to increased equity base or reduced net income growth relative to equity.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Return on assets increased from 14.7% at the close of 2019 to a high of around 21.03% by late 2021. Thereafter, a gradual decline is observed, settling near 16.45% by mid-2025. This pattern points to a reduction in asset utilization efficiency or increased asset base expansion without proportional net income gains in the later periods.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends regarding revenue, gross margin, and gross profit margin over the examined periods.
- Revenue Trends
- Revenue exhibited a general upward trajectory throughout the periods, starting at 33,055 million US dollars in September 2019 and increasing steadily to reach 76,441 million US dollars by June 2025. There were occasional fluctuations such as a slight decline from December 2019 (36,906) to March 2020 (35,021), and from September 2021 (45,317) to December 2021 (51,728) followed by minor dips. However, the overall pattern reflects consistent growth, highlighting expansion in the company's sales or service income streams.
- Gross Margin Trends
- Gross margin values also showed a robust upward movement, increasing from 22,649 million US dollars in September 2019 to 52,427 million US dollars by June 2025. Periodic oscillations occurred, such as slight decreases in some quarters (e.g., from September 2020 at 26,152 to March 2021 at 28,661), but the overarching trend illustrates heightened gross profit generation aligned with revenue growth.
- Gross Profit Margin Percentage
- From the available data starting in June 2020, the gross profit margin percentage remained relatively stable, fluctuating narrowly between approximately 67.78% and 69.89%. It exhibited a gradual improvement over time, increasing from 67.78% in June 2020 to a peak around 69.89% in June 2024, before a slight decline back toward 68.82% by June 2025. This stability and moderate growth suggest effective cost controls and pricing strategies that maintained profitability despite increasing revenue and gross margin.
In conclusion, the financial data indicates strong revenue and gross margin growth over the observed periods, accompanied by a consistent gross profit margin percentage. These patterns imply solid operational performance and efficient management of cost structures relative to sales, contributing to enhanced profitability.

- Revenue Trends
- Revenue demonstrates a generally upward trajectory across the observed quarters. Starting at approximately $33.1 billion in September 2019, revenue steadily increased over time with some quarterly fluctuations. By the end of the period in June 2025, revenue reached around $76.4 billion, indicating robust growth. Occasional dips or slower growth are visible, such as in early 2021 and late 2022, but the overall trend remains positive, reflecting strong sales expansion.
- Operating Income Trends
- Operating income also shows a clear upward trend over the analyzed quarters. Beginning near $12.7 billion in September 2019, operating income increased with periodic variations, peaking at $34.3 billion in June 2025. Noteworthy increases are observed in later periods, especially from mid-2021 onward, suggesting improved operational efficiency or enhanced profitability. Some short-term declines or plateaus appear, such as between late 2021 and early 2022, yet the long-term trend is positive.
- Operating Profit Margin Trends
- The operating profit margin percentage, available from June 2020 onwards, reveals a steady increase over time. Starting at about 37%, the margin consistently improved to approximately 45.6% by June 2025, highlighting improving profitability relative to revenue. This upward movement suggests that the company has either been managing costs more effectively or generating higher operating income per unit of revenue. The margin increment is gradual but persistent, indicating strong operational leverage.
- Overall Financial Performance Insights
- The concurrent growth of revenue and operating income, coupled with a rising operating profit margin, indicates an overall strengthening of financial performance. The firm appears to have enhanced its capacity to generate earnings from revenues efficiently. The improvement in operating profit margin suggests better cost control or more profitable revenue streams. The positive trends in both top-line and bottom-line metrics reflect a solid operational foundation maintained throughout the years, with resilience to economic fluctuations visible in some quarters.

An analysis of the quarterly financial data over the reported periods reveals several key trends in net income, revenue, and net profit margin.
- Net Income
- Net income exhibits an overall upward trajectory from September 2019 through June 2025, increasing from approximately 10,678 million USD to 27,233 million USD at its peak in March 2025. There are noticeable periodic fluctuations; however, the general direction is one of growth, with some quarters showing sharper increases, particularly from September 2021 onward. The more recent quarters consistently report net income values exceeding 20,000 million USD, suggesting strong profitability.
- Revenue
- Revenue follows a consistent growth pattern, rising from 33,055 million USD in September 2019 to 76,441 million USD by June 2025. Despite minor fluctuations in certain quarters, overall revenue increases steadily. The data from late 2021 through 2025 shows substantial revenue gains, frequently surpassing 60,000 million USD, indicating expanded sales or service generation. The correlation between revenue growth and net income suggests efficient management of expenses relative to income generation.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin percentages start reporting from June 2020, showing values in the range of approximately 31% to 38%. There is an upward trend in profit margins, peaking around the 38.5% mark late 2021. Subsequently, the margin experiences slight oscillations, mostly maintaining levels above 33%, which reflects a relatively stable and strong profitability ratio. The margin stability alongside rising net income and revenue underlines effective cost control and profitable operations throughout the observed timeframe.
In summary, the data indicate a robust financial performance characterized by sustained increases in revenue and net income, accompanied by high and stable net profit margins. This suggests that the entity has been successful in expanding its business volume while maintaining efficient cost structures leading to improved profitability over time.

The net income exhibits an overall upward trajectory over the period analyzed, with notable fluctuations. Starting from a level of 10,678 million USD in late September 2019, net income increased with some irregularity, peaking around 20,505 million USD in September 2021. Afterward, it experienced some declines and recoveries, reaching its highest value of 27,233 million USD in June 2024. This indicates growing profitability, although the growth rate is not entirely consistent quarter over quarter.
Stockholders’ equity demonstrates a steady and continuous increase throughout the entire period. Beginning at 106,061 million USD in September 2019, this figure has risen consistently each quarter, reaching 343,479 million USD by June 2025. This consistent growth suggests strong capital accumulation and retained earnings, reflecting ongoing business expansion and/or successful reinvestment of profits.
The Return on Equity (ROE) percentage, which measures profitability relative to stockholders’ equity, shows a contrasting trend. ROE data starts to be available from June 2020, with a high value of 37.43%, followed by a general increase peaking around 44.67% in December 2021. After this peak, ROE gradually declines each subsequent quarter, reaching 29.65% by June 2025. The decrease in ROE despite rising net income and equity suggests that net income growth is not keeping pace with the expanding equity base, potentially reflecting dilution effects or changes in capital structure impacting efficiency of equity use.
- Net Income

- Net Income
- The net income exhibited a generally increasing trend over the observed periods. Starting from approximately 10.7 billion USD in September 2019, it showed moderate fluctuations during the subsequent quarters. Significant growth was observed from mid-2020 onwards, peaking at around 25.8 billion USD in March 2025. There were some quarters, such as late 2021 and late 2022, where net income experienced slight declines, but overall the trend remains upward, indicating steady profitability improvement over time.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrated a continuous upward trajectory throughout the data range. Beginning near 279 billion USD in late 2019, total assets grew consistently each quarter, reaching over 619 billion USD by mid-2025. This strong asset growth suggests ongoing investment and expansion efforts. The pace of asset increase appears to accelerate particularly after mid-2021, with the asset base nearly doubling within approximately four years.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Return on Assets data is only available starting from mid-2020. Initially, the ROA was around 14.7%, then it increased steadily, reaching a peak slightly above 21% in the latter part of 2021. Following this peak, ROA showed a gradual decline to the range of approximately 16.4% to 17.8% in the last observed quarters. Despite the decline from the peak, the ROA values remain relatively high and stable, indicating efficient utilization of assets to generate earnings across recent years.
- Overall Trends and Insights
- The combined analysis reveals a company experiencing strong growth in net income accompanied by substantial asset accumulation. The initial rise and subsequent stabilization of ROA suggest that while asset growth is robust, profitability relative to assets has moderated slightly after reaching peak efficiency. The upward trends in net income and total assets support a view of expanding operations and market presence. Meanwhile, the stabilization in ROA after a peak indicates a maturing phase of asset utilization efficiency, maintaining healthy returns on an increasingly larger asset base.
