Benchmarks from named companies, not a survey.
Saved coverage: Oct 22, 2026. Financial figures retain their own reported periods; a newer event does not refresh them.
Every point is a named public company and a figure from its own filing in the saved coverage dataset. Pick a peer group to see the median, the middle half and the range — and how many companies actually report each figure.

How these are calculated
Figures come from SEC’s published data sets of what each company tagged in its filings, aligned to calendar quarters by SEC. Growth compares the latest quarter with the same quarter a year earlier. Margins are the company’s reported line items divided by revenue. A company is left out of a measure when it doesn’t report the inputs — it isn’t estimated or borrowed from a peer. Companies without figures for the latest quarter are excluded.
