Marvell FY2027 Q2 Earnings: $2.74B Revenue, $308M GAAP vs $866M Non-GAAP

Marvell's Q2 FY2027 (ended August 1, 2026) posted record revenue of $2.739B (+37% YoY) and data-center revenue of $2.172B (+46%), yet GAAP net income of $308M was barely a third of the $866M non-GAAP figure. The $558M gap — $326M stock-based compensation plus $215M acquired-intangible amortization — is reconciled line by line in a public Beancount ledger.

Palo Alto Networks FY2026 Q4 Earnings: CyberArk on the Balance Sheet and $9.10B of NGS ARR

Palo Alto Networks closed FY2026 with Q4 revenue of $3.41 billion (+34%), NGS ARR of $9.10 billion (+63%), and $21.2 billion of remaining performance obligations, while the CyberArk acquisition lifted goodwill from $4.57 billion to $22.01 billion. A double-entry read of the 10-K's purchase-price allocation, the $14.76 billion deferred-revenue stock, and why GAAP operating margin fell to 6.1%.

Salesforce FY2027 Q2 Earnings: $11.3B Revenue, Informatica Inside, and a $25B ASR

Salesforce FY2027 Q2: $11.3B revenue (+11%) with a stated $456M Informatica contribution, GAAP diluted EPS $4.29 (+119%) driven by $2.6B of strategic-investment gains over flat $2.33B operating income, and a $25B accelerated share repurchase that cut stockholders' equity by $20.8B — tracked in a public Beancount ledger asserting goodwill at $59.3B and treasury stock at $55.0B.

Synopsys FY2026 Q3 Earnings: $2.48B Revenue (+42%) and the First Full Ansys Quarter

Synopsys posted $2.477B revenue for Q3 FY2026 (+42% YoY) with GAAP diluted EPS of $2.84 against non-GAAP $3.91 — a gap bridged mostly by $402M of acquired-intangible amortization from the Ansys deal. A public Beancount ledger reconciles the print to the balance sheet, where goodwill sits at $26.8B and long-term debt is already down from $13.5B to $9.0B.

TJX FY2027 Q2: net sales $15.18B (+5%), consolidated comps +4% above plan, and net income $1.52B. Reported pretax margin of 13.3% includes a 1.4-point net IEEPA tariff-refund benefit ($331M refunds less $112M compensation accruals); adjusted pretax margin is 11.9%, up 0.5 points, and adjusted diluted EPS is $1.22 versus $1.36 reported. Cash ended at $6.0B, inventories at $7.86B with per-store +2% — all tracked in a public Beancount ledger spanning FY2022–FY2027Q2.

Deferred revenue of $2.93 billion and RPO of roughly $7.4 billion carry the growth signal before the income statement recognizes it — modeled FY2022–FY2026 in a public Beancount ledger alongside CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks.

Interest Coverage Ratio: What Your Loan Covenant Measures and How to Cure a Breach Before It Triggers Default

The interest coverage ratio (EBIT ÷ interest expense) is the loan covenant small businesses trip most often, with minimums typically set between 2.5x and 4.5x and tested quarterly on trailing twelve months. This guide explains how lenders define EBITDA and interest expense, what a breach triggers (default rate, frozen draws, cross-defaults), and the cure sequence in cost order — early covenant reset, waiver, amendment, equity cure, forbearance — plus the bookkeeping that keeps your ratio visible before the bank sees it.
