12 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

NUTANIX, INC. booked $2.5B of revenue in FY2025 in the Technology sector and kept 86.8% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 7.4% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $241.4M (FY2015) to $2.5B (FY2025) — about 26.5% a year compounded over 10 years.

NTNX's filings don't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

The share count rose 392.4% between FY2016 and FY2022 — existing owners have been diluted over the record. Capital Discipline scores it 44/100.

Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the four filters (100/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (0/100), which is how NTNX lands at 56/100 — a Shallow moat.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
