Targets, ratings and earnings estimates: Yahoo Finance. Rating and target changes: Yahoo Finance's list of upgrades and downgrades. The average target on each day is the average of every listed firm's latest target set in the 180 days before it, so it counts fewer analysts than the average target above, and the band is the middle half of those targets (a quarter of the firms are above it, a quarter below); a target set before a stock split is divided by the split. Expected figures: the average of the analysts' estimates (Yahoo Finance). Their EPS is adjusted, as analysts estimate it, so it is set against the adjusted EPS Yahoo reports for the same quarters, not the GAAP EPS of the growth and valuation sections; revenue against the SEC filings. No change is given against a quarter whose reported EPS was more than 50% off its own estimate (often a one-off gain or charge), nor against a year that counts one. Each estimate is pinned to its fiscal period by the report date or the period's end, and one that cannot be is left out.
Where the cash goes
Capex of $56.0B exceeds operating cash flow of $15.8B, leaving free cash flow of −$40.2B. It still paid $5.0B to shareholders (dividends plus buybacks), so $45.2B had to come from cash on hand or borrowing.

| Capex | −$56.0B |

| Dividends | — |
| Buybacks | −$5.0B |
| Cash retained | −$45.2B |
Free cash flow is negative, so the company is burning cash.
No dividend today; cash goes to growth and share buybacks.
Dividends plus buybacks over the last four quarters: for every $100 of market cap, about $0.3 went back to shareholders.
Free cash flow: operating cash flow minus capital spending. Last 4 quarters: Yahoo Finance, buybacks from SEC filings where they have the quarter.
Financial health
Current ratio 1.4, short-term debt is manageable; debt-to-equity 0.6, debt is moderate.
Assets that can be turned into cash soon are 1.4x what is owed within a year. 1.5 or higher is comfortable; below 1 needs watching.
For every $1 of shareholder funds, there is $0.6 of debt (leases not counted). The higher the number, the more pressure when the economy weakens.
Cash and short-term investments of $24.7B against debt of $22.9B. Lease obligations of $422M are not counted: they are rent owed, not money borrowed.

From the 13F filings of the 83 funds Hunch tracks, not of every institution: each fund's shares of SPCX at its latest quarter end against the quarter before, as filed (long positions only, options left out), the quarter before put on the latest quarter's share count across a split. A fund files 45 days after its quarter ends, so some have a newer quarter than others. Value is at the quarter end. Norges Bank filed its 13F for Q1 2026 confidentially, with no holdings made public, so its row compares Q2 2026 with Q4 2025.
