Revenue compounded at +11.6% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew faster: net income at +234.6%, earnings per share at +253.4%.

The share count fell from 0.07B to 0.05B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.

Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.

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.
