About this record 10 fiscal years from 2017 to 2026, covering 30 statement lines, collected from SEC EDGAR. The most recent was confirmed on 2026-10-07.
Its 3.85% operating margin in the latest fiscal year is at or above 13% of the 45 listed companies collected here, closest to Walmart 4.18% and Korean Air 4.41%.
