Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 114 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Corpay, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
F5, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Microsoft Corporation has the highest Revenue among the 28 Software - Infrastructure companies compared here, at $318,273 million. Oracle Corporation is next at $67,358 million. CoreWeave, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies. Its Revenue series carries 19 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Microsoft Corporation is the scale leader at $318,273 million, 372.5% ahead of Oracle Corporation. CoreWeave, Inc.'s growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 130% from a $6,228 million base, with 10 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderMicrosoft Corporation · $318,273 million
Gap372.5% versus #2 · Oracle Corporation
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage27/28 companies · 526 observations

Investor read: Microsoft Corporation is the scale benchmark; CoreWeave, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Microsoft Corporation's growth falls below CoreWeave, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Palantir Technologies Inc. has the highest Margin change at +26.3 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 28 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: VeriSign, Inc. leads opm at 68.5%; Palantir Technologies Inc. leads margin change at +26.3 percentage points.

Investor read: VeriSign, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Profit Scale & Acceleration

Microsoft Corporation has the highest Net profit among the 28 Software - Infrastructure companies compared here, at $125,216 million. Oracle Corporation is next at $17,087 million. DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. has the highest Profit growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Microsoft Corporation leads with $125,216 million of TTM profit, 632.8% above Oracle Corporation. DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (119.4% uncapped) growth from a $237 million profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.

LeaderMicrosoft Corporation · $125,216 million
Gap632.8% versus #2 · Oracle Corporation
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage27/28 companies · 526 observations

Investor read: Microsoft Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Capacity Spending & Returns On It

Microsoft Corporation has the highest CAPEX among the 28 Software - Infrastructure companies compared here, at $30,876 million. Oracle Corporation is next at $16,493 million. CoreWeave, Inc. has the highest CAPEX intensity at 370.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 28 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Microsoft Corporation reports $30,876 million of CAPEX; CoreWeave, Inc. has the highest covered intensity at 370.3%. Coverage is only 28 of 28 companies and 516 reported observations, so this is partial evidence—not a complete sector rank.

LeaderMicrosoft Corporation · $30,876 million
Gap87.2% versus #2 · Oracle Corporation
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage28/28 companies · 516 observations

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Annual capital allocation · 6-year view
28/28 capacity base · 28/28 OCF · 28/28 CAPEX · 28/28 FCF

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here. Missing years remain blank; annual values are never relabelled as quarters.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

Toast, Inc. has the lowest Gross debt among the 28 Software - Infrastructure companies compared here, at $17 million. MongoDB, Inc. is next at $30 million. Microsoft Corporation has the lowest Net debt at $21,307 million net cash, so level and change sit with different companies. 28 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Microsoft Corporation has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with $21,307 million net cash and gross debt of $56,965 million. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderToast, Inc. · $17 million
Gap43.3% versus #2 · MongoDB, Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage28/28 companies · 520 observations

Investor read: Prioritize net-cash capacity and leverage relative to operating scale, not the smallest absolute rupee debt.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Return On Capital Employed

VeriSign, Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 28 Software - Infrastructure companies compared here, at 1141.8%. Fortinet, Inc. is next at 10.6%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +1020.3 percentage points. 28 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026. Its ROCE series carries 20 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: VeriSign, Inc. leads ROCE at 1141.8%, 1131.2 percentage points above Fortinet, Inc.. VeriSign, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +1020.3 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderVeriSign, Inc. · 1141.8%
Gap108× versus #2 · Fortinet, Inc.
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage28/28 companies · 509 observations

Investor read: VeriSign, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 28 Software - Infrastructure companies compared here, at 0.52×. GoDaddy Inc. is next at 0.61×. Gen Digital Inc. has the lowest P/E at 12×, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 0.52×, 14.8% below GoDaddy Inc.. Only 12 of 28 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderCheck Point Software Technologies Ltd. · 0.52×
Gap14.8% versus #2 · GoDaddy Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage12/28 companies · 98 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

EV/EBITDA includes debt in enterprise value and is useful across different capital structures. P/BV prices the company against its own book. Both are market multiples on reported figures, not intrinsic-value estimates and not forecasts.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Software - Infrastructure comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 28 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 28 companies in the canonical Software - Infrastructure membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 28 Software - Infrastructure companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Software - Infrastructure company comparison FAQs

These 18 answers restate the Software - Infrastructure comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 28 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Which Software - Infrastructure company is the biggest?

Microsoft Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $318,273 million, ahead of Oracle Corporation at $67,358 million. That covers 27 of 28 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Software - Infrastructure company is growing fastest?

CoreWeave, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 100% year on year, across 27 of 28 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Software - Infrastructure company has the best profit margins?

VeriSign, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 68.5%, from 28 of 28 comparable companies. Palantir Technologies Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +26.3 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Software - Infrastructure company makes the most profit?

Microsoft Corporation earns the most, at $125,216 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 27 of 28 comparable companies. DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Software - Infrastructure company earns the highest return on capital?

VeriSign, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 1141.8%, across 28 of 28 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Software - Infrastructure stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. screens cheapest at 0.52×. Only 12 of 28 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Which Software - Infrastructure company has the strongest balance sheet?

Toast, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $17 million, from 28 of 28 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.

Which Software - Infrastructure company is investing most in new capacity?

Microsoft Corporation reports the largest capital spending at $30,876 million, across 28 of 28 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.

Is the Software - Infrastructure sector beating the market?

Software - Infrastructure has underperformed S&P 500 by 3.3% over the last 52 weeks and 13.3% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 16 of 27 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Software - Infrastructure stock has the strongest price momentum?

Fortinet, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Software - Infrastructure company scores highest for research priority?

Corpay, Inc. scores 63.8 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 22.8 points on growth and earnings, 12.3 on capital efficiency, 13.5 on valuation and 15.2 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Software - Infrastructure companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
