CONCERNS & RISKS

  • While revenue and margins have surged, the significant increase in capital expenditures to $5.0 billion in Q2 and $11.78 billion for the six months ended Feb 26, 2026, indicates substantial ongoing investment, which could impact near-term free cash flow generation if not matched by revenue growth.

    attention
  • Inventories increased to $8.267 billion as of Feb 26, 2026, from $8.205 billion as of Nov 27, 2025, though this is a minor increase relative to the massive revenue surge.
