AI Insight: CART Financial Trends
Revenue crossed $1B in Q1 2026 while operating income hit a five-quarter high of $182M, signaling durable margin expansion despite a sharp Q4 2025 earnings dip.
• Revenue grew steadily from $823M in Q2 2024 to $1,019M in Q1 2026, a 23.8% increase over six quarters.
• Operating income surged to $182M in Q1 2026, the highest in the dataset, up from $52M in Q2 2024.
• Operating cash flow remained strong at $268M in Q1 2026, recovering after dipping to $153M in Q4 2024.
• Equity contracted sharply from $3,458M in Q3 2025 to $2,395M in Q1 2026, a $1,063M decline in two quarters.
⚠ Net income collapsed to $81M in Q4 2025 despite $992M revenue — the sharpest earnings drop in the dataset; cause warrants scrutiny.
⚠ Equity fell $940M+ over Q4 2025–Q1 2026; absent debt data, whether buybacks or losses drove this is unclear.
⚠ No debt figures are available across all periods, making leverage assessment and balance-sheet risk impossible to evaluate.
AI Insight: CART Ratio Trends
CART's Q1 2026 ROIC surged to 30.4%, its highest in the dataset, signaling a sharp step-up in capital efficiency.
• ROIC expanded from 13.9% in Q1 2025 to 30.4% in Q1 2026, a 16.5pp year-over-year improvement.
• Operating margin rose from 12.3% in Q1 2025 to 17.9% in Q1 2026, continuing a year-over-year expansion trend.
• ROE jumped from 13.4% in Q1 2025 to 24.1% in Q1 2026, the highest quarterly reading in the dataset.
• Results show consistent seasonal softness in Q1 and Q4, with Q4 2025 OpMargin dropping to 9.8% before rebounding.
⚠ Q4 2025 OpMargin collapsed to 9.8% — lowest since Q2 2024 — suggesting recurring fourth-quarter cost or revenue pressure.
⚠ D/E is unavailable across all periods; leverage structure remains unverifiable, a key gap for balance-sheet assessment.
⚠ Q1 2026 ROIC of 30.4% is a significant outlier; sustainability into Q2 2026 will confirm whether this is structural.
