KIRA Β· NORDIC AMERICAN TANKERS Ltd had $292M of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 16.6% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed β3.8% a year on average. Its operating margin was 15.9%, down 6.2Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 16 is left after running the business.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
Cash from operations minus capital spending.

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.
