Zscaler Had No 10% Revenue Customer. One Partner Held 12% of Receivables
Zscaler’s latest filing draws two concentration maps over the same quarter. On the revenue map, no customer reached the 10% reporting line. On the collection map, one anonymous channel partner held 12% of net accounts receivable. Neither number is alarming on its own. Together…

Target's Digital Channel Originated 19.6% of Merchandise Sales; Stores Fulfilled 97.6%
Target's fiscal-Q2 tables describe one basket twice. Mobile and web initiated almost one merchandise dollar in five, while stores remained the fulfilment surface for almost every merchandise dollar. The figures do not conflict: they reveal a retail model in which digital demand…

Asana's 817 Large Customers Are Not Necessarily 817 Companies
Asana ended April with 817 customers generating more than US$100,000 in annualized GAAP revenue. The natural reading is a map with 817 large companies on it. The filing describes a different unit. A customer is a distinct account that can be a team, an institution or a business…

Third-Party Hosting Supplied Half of Workday's US$66m Subscription-Cost Rise
Workday added US$302 million of quarterly subscription revenue and US$236 million of derived subscription gross profit. The delivery bill still deserves its own reading: third-party hosted infrastructure alone supplied US$33 million of a US$66 million increase in subscription…

HP Validated US$10.9bn for Supplier Finance. Suppliers Sold an Immaterial Amount
HP’s supplier-finance note describes a door large enough for US$10.9 billion of unpaid invoices. It does not say that US$10.9 billion went through it. At 31 July 2026, the payment obligations that suppliers had actually elected to sell to financial institutions were immaterial.…

Marvell Allocated US$7.5m of Q2 Net Income to NVIDIA's Unconverted Preferred
NVIDIA's US$2 billion Marvell security had not converted by 1 August. It did not wait outside the earnings ledger: Marvell assigned it US$6.2 million of undistributed earnings and US$1.3 million of dividends for the quarter. The certificate already behaves like common equity in…

Williams-Sonoma Collected US$200.2m. US$29.3m Waited in Inventory
Williams-Sonoma had already received US$200.2 million of tariff refunds and related interest by the end of its fiscal second quarter. Yet US$29.3 million of refund income had not reached the income statement: it remained attached to merchandise still held for sale. The split…

KKR and IMM’s KRW3.08tn SK Horizon Deal Includes KRW1.20tn of New Capital
The headline number has two destinations. KKR and the IMM Investment–Stonebridge consortium are due to pay KRW1.881 trillion for shares held by SK Telecom and approximately KRW1.20 trillion for new shares issued by the future SK Horizon. Both payments buy ownership. Only the…

Tetra Tech's US$4.49bn Backlog Ignores Termination Clauses. RUPO Doesn't
Tetra Tech ended June with US$4.49 billion of backlog and US$4.44 billion of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations. The US$50 million gap looks trivial. Its cause is not. The operating measure leaves potential termination-for-convenience clauses out of the calculation…

Walmart's 23% E-Commerce Growth Includes Ads, Fulfilment and Data
Walmart's global eCommerce net sales grew 23% in its July quarter. The number describes real momentum, but not one kind of sale. Walmart puts digitally initiated orders fulfilled by stores and clubs inside the same perimeter as net sales from certain advertising arrangements…

Equinix’s 5.25% Dollar Note Became 3.95% Euro Funding After the Swap
Equinix sold a US-dollar bond and chose a euro liability. On 6 August, its Europe 2 financing subsidiary issued US$850 million of 5.250% senior notes due in 2031, backed by Equinix’s full and unconditional guarantee. Cross-currency swaps then changed the principal obligation to…

Lumentum's First US$43.5m AXT Deposit Buys a Supply Right, Not Wafers Today
Lumentum promised AXT two deposits of US$43.5 million for a long reservation of indium-phosphide wafer capacity. The symmetry stops at the amounts. The first deposit has a deadline now; the second still needs its timing and surrounding terms set in 2028. Both can become shipment…

Alibaba’s HK$79.7bn AI Raise Starts With 3.57% New Share Capital
Alibaba has completed the financing before it has completed the infrastructure. The company placed 710 million new shares at HK$112.70, leaving approximately HK$79.7 billion of net proceeds and making the new block 3.57% of enlarged issued capital. Sixty per cent is intended for…

Dollar Tree added or converted about 710 stores to its multi-price format in fiscal Q2 2026, taking the format to roughly 6,600 locations. The most visible sales movement was not a rush of extra visits: comparable traffic rose 0.4%, while average ticket increased 3.3%. The format…

Palantir Reset Its Cloud Clock to at Least US$5.6bn
Palantir did not merely extend a hosting contract in March. It terminated the earlier payment obligations and replaced them with at least US$5.6 billion of cloud purchases across ten contract years through February 2036. The reset gives a fast-growing software company a long…

Reddit Put US$880m of Cloud Infrastructure Outside Its Capex Line
Reddit bought only US$2.2 million of property and equipment in the first half of 2026, yet in June it committed to spend US$880 million on AWS between July 2026 and June 2029. The contrast is not a hidden debt discovery. It shows where the infrastructure of an asset-light…

JFrog's Cloud Revenue Crossed 53%; Its Cloud Margin Is Still Hidden
Cloud became JFrog's majority revenue stream in the second quarter. The company also expanded its blended gross margin. What investors still cannot see is the bridge between those facts, because statutory costs combine SaaS and self-managed subscriptions.

Core Scientific Leased 1.1 GW; Only 437 MW Was Billing
Core Scientific's July headline joined approximately 1.1 gigawatts of leased customer power to more than US$24 billion of potential contracted revenue. The operating base was smaller: 437 MW was billing by mid-July. The difference is not failed demand. It is the construction…

Varonis ended June with US$726.0 million of SaaS ARR, up 52%. Strip out contracts moved from its self-hosted base and the balance was US$598.1 million, growing 25%. Both figures are valid; they measure different engines.

Axon's $15.1bn Contracted-Bookings Headline Includes $5.3bn Outside GAAP RPO
Axon ended June with two views of future business. Its broad operational ledger held $15.1 billion; the accounting ledger held about $9.8 billion. The $5.3 billion difference is not a rounding error or hidden revenue. It is the price of admitting different kinds of commercial…
