KIRA Β· Niu Technologies had $599M of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 31.2% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +11.1% a year on average. Its operating margin was β2.0%, up 5.6Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about β2 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

KIRA Β· Niu Technologies lost $5.5M in fiscal 2025.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $24.4M in fiscal 2025, 4.1% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.
Free cash flow
Cash from operations vs capital spending
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).

KIRA Β· No open-market insider trades in the last 12 months.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
