Frequently asked questions
What is Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Ltd's revenue?
Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Ltd's trailing twelve-month revenue is $10.29B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is KC?
In its most recent fiscal year, KC ran a gross margin of 15.73%, an operating margin of -5.52%, and a net margin of -9.79%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does KC generate?
KC produced $-941.34M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is KC's balance sheet healthy?
KC holds $6.12B in cash and equivalents against $3.02B in long-term debt, on $9.32B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
