Data & methodology

What is a Sankey diagram?

A Sankey diagram shows how money flows through a company from revenue to net profit. The width of each flow represents its proportion.

How is the data calculated?

We use the income statement from company filings. For TTM (Trailing Twelve Months), we use a pre-aggregated twelve-month view aligned with our latest four quarterly periods. Revenue flows to cost of revenue and gross profit, then to operating expenses (R&D, S&M, G&A) and operating profit.

Where do segment and geographic numbers come from?

Product-segment shares come from the same TTM income statement that powers the Sankey chart. Geographic splits are first rebuilt from the four most recent quarterly geographic-segmentation filings so they align with the same TTM window; if quarterly geo data is missing, we fall back to the latest annual disclosure (the table heading shows which one is in use).

When was this data last updated?

Based on company filings through TTM through Q1 2026.
