Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Mar 31, 2026 · FY2026 Q3
Revenue declined from the prior quarter while cost of revenue decreased only slightly, causing gross profit to fall and gross margin to weaken. Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue grew but cost of revenue grew at a faster pace, leading to a lower gross margin.
- The strongest observable margin driver is the disproportionate movement of cost of revenue relative to revenue. In the current quarter, cost of revenue declined less than revenue sequentially and rose more than revenue year-over-year, compressing gross margin.
- Sequentially, revenue and gross profit both decreased, with gross profit falling more sharply, resulting in a weaker gross margin. Year-over-year, revenue and gross profit both increased, but gross profit growth lagged, leading to a lower gross margin.
