KIRA Β· Sequans Communications had $26.3M of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 28.5% on the year before. Its operating margin was β425.0%, down 613.8Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about β425 is left after running the business.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
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.

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.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Sequans Communications can carry it.
