Rhea AI WDAY FY2026

Profitability is scaling faster than spending as cash generation outruns accounting earnings and repurchases reshape the balance sheet.

From FY2024 to FY2026, operating margin widened from 2.5% to 7.6%. Because R&D spending rose only from $2.5B to $2.7B over that stretch, the margin improvement looks more like fixed-cost absorption on a larger revenue base than a retreat from product investment.

In FY2026, free cash flow reached $2.8B while net income was only $693M. That gap says earnings quality is cash-favorable: the business turns reported profit into cash unusually well, and low ongoing reinvestment needs keep more of that cash available.

The company used $2.9B for buybacks in FY2026 against cash of $1.5B at year-end. That helps explain why equity fell despite positive earnings and why the current ratio slid from 2.1x to 1.3x; improving operations did not translate into a looser balance sheet because capital was actively returned instead.
