  • Gross margin improved to $1.19 billion (14%) in Q3 2025 from $758 million (10%) in Q3 2024, mainly due to higher metal margins in steel mills.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
