Rhea AI CGNX FY2025

Cognex’s 2025 recovery was powered more by operating cost absorption and cash conversion than by gross-margin expansion.

Revenue recovered to $994M in FY2025 while gross margin slipped to 66.9%, so the recovery did not come from a higher gross-profit rate. Operating margin nevertheless reached 16.4% as SG&A fell to $364M, pointing to below-gross-profit cost absorption.

Operating cash flow reached $246M versus $114M of net income in FY2025, showing earnings converted into cash at a much higher rate than reported profit alone suggests. Free cash flow reached $237M while capital expenditures were only $9M, so reinvestment consumed little of the cash produced.

Net margin stayed near 11.5% versus 11.6% in FY2024 even as operating margin improved, because the bottom line did not capture the operating recovery. Income-tax expense rose to $68M from $25M, helping explain why operating improvement translated weakly into net income.
