The 16-year record

16 fiscal years
Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.

How we verify · 0 failures · 7 divergences in 74 reconciliationsAUDITED

Reconciled in 9 of the 16 fiscal years we could check. 7 of those reconciliations are divergences — the figures exist but don't fit the formula this check expects; that isn't the same as an error. Six checks were skipped: the balance sheet is not tagged before 2010. Three checks were skipped: EPS is not tagged before 2010. Three checks were skipped: revenue is not tagged before 2010.
