What the margin says

Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.

The gap between revenue and cost of revenue widened, as cost of revenue grew more than revenue. This was the primary factor behind the decline in gross profit and the further weakening of gross margin.

Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was slightly higher but gross profit was lower and gross margin weakened. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was higher while gross profit was lower and gross margin also weakened.

Monitor the trend of cost of revenue relative to revenue, as the widening gap has been the strongest observable driver of margin pressure.
