The main question: profits are rising, but only 13% of the last 3 years' profit came in as cash from operations. The gap between reported profit and actual cash is the thing to watch. ## What is the Daily Journal share price today? Daily Journal Corporation's share price was $629.40 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 24 weeks. That is 11.4% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $392 and $665, and at that close it sat 87% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 3 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +185% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Daily Journal pay? Daily Journal Corporation pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Daily Journal on?

## Is Daily Journal profitable? Daily Journal Corporation posted a net loss of $10.9 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $112 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −0.2% a year on average. That loss is 40.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $14.4 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Jun 2026 profit was −$10.9 M, −175.5% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY25 profit was $112 M (+43.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +15.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +5.9 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −117.1% and revenue +23.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Daily Journal make, and is it growing? Daily Journal Corporation reported $27.0 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +15.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 15.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $87.7 M. The last four reported quarters add to $97.6 M. FY25 revenue was $87.7 M, +25.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +23.4% on average, against 15.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +23.4%, against +16.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Daily Journal keep? Daily Journal Corporation's operating margin was 22.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 6.8% and 13.5%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 6.8% and 13.5%, and FY25's 13.5% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +5.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +10.1 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Daily Journal's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 13% of Daily Journal Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY25 it brought in $13.3 M of operating cash against $112 M of profit. After $8.0 K of spending on assets, $13.3 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Daily Journal's cash go? Daily Journal Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $143 K on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.1% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $143 K over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Daily Journal's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Daily Journal Corporation's P/E is 55.0×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +43.5% while the price moved +55.4%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +28.9% a year; about −13.4% a year came from earnings growth and about +42.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Daily Journal business getting better or worse? Daily Journal Corporation's business is giving mixed signals. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking while ROE is still rising at 28.7%, so growth and returns point different ways. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Daily Journal earn on its capital? Daily Journal Corporation earned a ROE of 29% in FY25. That is up from a low of −42% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.0 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 127.9% net margin and 0.16× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 127.9% net margin × 0.16× asset turnover × 1.40× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 28.6% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 2.7% − 8.7% = −6.0 percentage points. The 8.7% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Daily Journal have too much debt? Daily Journal Corporation has total debt of $20.8 M against shareholder equity of $338 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.06× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.13 in FY21 to 0.06 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Daily Journal shareholding pattern? 13.1% of Daily Journal Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.1 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Daily Journal from balance-sheet trouble? For Daily Journal Corporation, the Z-score is 5.38. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 5.38 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Daily Journal rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Daily Journal Corporation is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Software - Application. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Daily Journal compared with?
