Quantum Corporation (QMCO) Financials
A multiple compares the market's price with a filed figure; it says what the market pays, not how the business is doing. The market capitalization is the vendor's as of Oct 8, 2026; every other figure is from the SEC filings on this page. Not financial advice.
Newest figures come from the 10-Q for Q1 FY2027, filed Aug 11, 2026. Each column of the statement tables below links to the filing it was taken from, and every filing is listed on the QMCO SEC filings page.
