How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Questions asked

Grouped by company, most questions first. Open a company to read its questions, newest reporting period first.

Calendar 2025 Q1

I'm just wondering, clearly other things are bubbling because that that side of the backlog actually in terms of value terms with startups diminished a little going into Q1

Sanjiv expects ~$1B startup from backlog in H2 but backlog to end year at or above $7B. EMEA margins at 35%+ are fundamental model, nothing extraordinary.

Calendar 2024 Q4

I'm assuming you've got some very profitable markets in there that are being hit very hard with the currency, I'm thinking Mexico, maybe Brazil

Show response

Matt confirmed LatAm currencies hit hardest first (peso, real, ARS), then major currencies devalued in Q4 on dollar flight. DXY appreciated almost 10% around US elections.
