The 17-year record

17 fiscal years
Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · CNY

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 82 reconciliationsAUDITED

Reconciled in 10 of the 17 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: the share count is not tagged before 2010. Two checks were skipped: revenue is not tagged before 2009.
