As of Jun 30, 2026
In fiscal 2025 the company spent $5.19B buying back its own shares and $2.75B on dividends. Cash actually paid, from its cash-flow statement.
New federal contracts from the last 12 months add up to 0.16% of that revenue. Contract money is usually earned over several years, so this is a size comparison, not a share of sales.

Prices are daily closes from Polygon.io. Company figures come from its own SEC filings. Past moves are not a forecast. OQRO reports what was filed and never tells you what to buy or sell.
Short sale volume: 50.1% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, close to its 1-year average of 51.8%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 2, 2026.
Fails to deliver: 4,237 shares (about $3.41M) were not delivered on time for settlement on Sep 11, 2026. SEC fails-to-deliver data.
Short sale volume is not short interest. It counts trades marked short, including market makers selling short to fill buy orders, so it is a share of daily trading, not a count of bets against the stock. Fails to deliver have many causes, including processing delays, and are often resolved within days.
153 certified in FY2026 Q3, vs 131 a year earlier. 153 positions in total, median offered wage $112K a year.
Labor condition applications for H-1B workers certified by the Department of Labor, counted by decision date (FY2026 Q3: Apr 1, 2026 to Jun 30, 2026, the latest quarter published). A certified application is a step before a visa petition, not a hire or a visa, and one application can cover several positions. Matched by employer ID number or name.
