From Core Scientific, Inc./tx's FY2025 10-K, filed Mar 2, 2026 · read the filing
Core Scientific, /tx lends money and provides credit. It took in $319.0M last year, which makes it a smaller company. It spends more than it earns — losing about 90 cents on every dollar of sales.
The filing does not provide enough evidence for a clear financial conclusion.

Measured against FY2024, from the 10-K filed Mar 2, 2026
Deteriorated: -68.7%
$121.1M to $37.9MCritical
Why it matters: What is left of sales after the direct cost of producing them. It normally moves with revenue, so a move out of step with revenue is the part worth noticing.
Deteriorated: $103.5M wider
-$142.1M to -$245.6MCritical
Why it matters: Profit from running the business, before interest and tax. Less exposed than profit to one-off financing and tax items, so a clearer read on the business itself.
How the latest move compares (quote delayed ~15 min), and what was published around it
CORZ rose 3.34% on the latest quote. The average Financials company tracked here moved +1.11%, and the S&P 500 −1.04%. That is 2.2 points above its sector and 4.4 points above the market.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
Opinions from 28 analysts covering this company, as of . Their views, not this site's.
Of 28 analysts publishing on this company, 7 say strong buy, 19 say buy and 2 say hold. Analysts are paid to publish a view and are wrong often; the split above says how much they agree with each other, which is the part a single headline rating hides.
Published by Finnhub. Analyst coverage skews towards larger companies and towards optimism — sell ratings are rare across the whole market, so a company with none is ordinary rather than endorsed.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
No. It lost $288.6M last year, losing about 90 cents on every dollar of sales.
No. Sales shrank 37.5% last year.
For every $1 it owes, it owns $0.71 in assets. Banks and insurers always carry high debt — that is how lending works — so this is normal for the industry and not comparable with other sectors.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Income
This company pays no dividend. It keeps its profits and reinvests them in the business instead, so any return would have to come from the share price.
Figures from the FY2025 annual filing
Last year it lost $288.6M and generated $278.3M of cash from operations.

Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from CORZ's 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (period ending 2025-12-31, filed Mar 2, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 8 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 2.0 | 3/8 | 10-K, filed Mar 2, 2026 |
| FY2024 | 3.3 | 4/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 27, 2025 |
| FY2023 | 2.0 | 4/8 | 10-K, filed Mar 13, 2024 |
| FY2022 | 4.7 | 3/8 | 10-K, filed Apr 4, 2023 |
| FY2021 | 7.3 | 3/7 | 10-K, filed Apr 4, 2023 |
| FY2020 | 6.0 | — | 10-K, filed Mar 30, 2022 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.
Every check behind the three models, and what each one tests
3 of 8 checks passed
Nine yes-or-no tests of whether this year's finances improved on last year's. One could not be evaluated and is excluded from the total rather than counted as a failure.
not reported — Not meaningful for banks, insurers and other financial companies. Their balance sheets have no working capital and are leveraged by design, which this model misreads as distress.

Every figure above comes from the FY2025 filing as filed with the SEC.
Improved: $1.15B narrower
-$1.44B to -$288.6MCritical
Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
Deteriorated: −11.8 pts
23.7% to 11.9%Critical
Why it matters: What survives each sale before overheads. Falling gross margin usually means the company is discounting or its input costs rose — it is the earliest place pricing pressure shows.
Deteriorated: −49.2 pts
-27.8% to -77.0%Critical
Why it matters: What survives each sale after running the business. A falling operating margin beside a steady gross margin points at overheads — wages, marketing, research — rather than pricing.
Improved: +191.1 pts
-281.6% to -90.5%Critical
Why it matters: What survives to the very end of each sale. Worth reading beside revenue: growing sales on a shrinking margin means the company is buying its growth.
Deteriorated: $398.7M wider
-$52.1M to -$450.8MCritical
Why it matters: Cash left after paying for the plant that produced it — the money genuinely available for dividends, buybacks or paying down debt. Harder to flatter than profit.
Improved: $4.00 narrower
-$4.91 to -$0.92Critical
Why it matters: Profit divided by the shares in issue at the period end, so it sits close to but not on the company's own reported figure. It can rise with no growth in profit when the company buys back stock — read it beside the share count.
Deteriorated: -62.8%
$836.2M to $311.4MCritical
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Changed: +667.7%
$95.0M to $729.0MCritical
Why it matters: Neither good nor bad on its own. Heavy spending is a company building capacity or a company struggling to stand still, and the two look identical in this figure.
Deteriorated: -37.5%
$510.7M to $319.0MSignificant
Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.
Deteriorated: +7.4%
292.6M to 314.2MSignificant
Why it matters: New shares divide the same company into more pieces, so each existing holding owns slightly less of it. Often pay for staff or an acquisition rather than anything wrong.

Q2 FY2026 against Q1 FY2026, from the 10-Q filed Jul 28, 2026 — read it. Quarter-to-quarter moves include seasonal swings — a retailer's holiday quarter — which the year-earlier comparison removes.

Deteriorated: +304.8%

Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.

Loading price history…
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 21.0% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
Trailing P/E is not meaningful because the latest trailing earnings are zero or negative. The price-to-book and price-to-sales figures below still provide reference points.
Not meaningful for banks, insurers and other financial companies. Their balance sheets have no working capital and are leveraged by design, which this model misreads as distress.
