The main question: the share price moved +70.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved +17.0%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Qualys share price today? Qualys, Inc.'s share price was $210.57 at the close on 3 November 2026.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved +586% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of 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 Qualys pay? Qualys, Inc. pays no dividend.

## Is Qualys profitable? Qualys, Inc. earned $52.4 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +10.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $198 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 29.3% a year on average. That is 28.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $47.3 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $198 M (+14.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +11.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.7 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +11.8% and revenue +10.3%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Qualys make, and is it growing? Qualys, Inc. reported $182 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +11.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 12.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $669 M. The last four reported quarters add to $703 M. FY25 revenue was $669 M, +10.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.3% on average, against 12.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +10.4%, against +10.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +11.6%, against +10.0% a year (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Qualys keep? Qualys, Inc.'s operating margin was 34.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.7 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 26.7% and 33.2%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 26.7% and 33.2%, and FY25's 33.2% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Qualys' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 152% of Qualys, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $309 M of operating cash against $198 M of profit. After $5.0 M of spending on assets, $304 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 Qualys' cash go? Qualys, Inc. 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 $26.1 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.3% 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: $26.1 M 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 Qualys' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Qualys, Inc.'s P/E is 36.5×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 54% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 33.8×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. 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 +17.0% while the price moved +70.8%. 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 +7.4% a year; about +16.1% a year came from earnings growth and about −8.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). 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: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Qualys business getting better or worse? Qualys, Inc.'s business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROCE is steady at 40.0%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## How much does Qualys earn on its capital? Qualys, Inc. earned a ROE of 35% in FY25. That is up from a low of 16% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 104.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 29.6% net margin and 0.61× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 29.6% net margin × 0.61× asset turnover × 1.95× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 35.2% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 112.4% − 7.5% = +104.9 percentage points. The 7.5% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 112.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 114.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Qualys have too much debt? Qualys, Inc. has total debt of $53.4 M against shareholder equity of $562 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.09× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.11 in FY21 to 0.09 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Qualys shareholding pattern? 9.4% of Qualys, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.7 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 Qualys from balance-sheet trouble? For Qualys, Inc., the Z-score is 6.42. 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 6.42 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Qualys rank in its industry?
