| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $4.1B | $3.2B | +28.86% |
| Profit | $1.5B | $1.1B | +38.14% |

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

“KLA’s September quarter beat the midpoint of guidance across all key metrics, demonstrating the accelerated growth we expected for the second half of calendar 2026,”

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
