Disclosed revenue
What each lab, or its public parent, has reported to the SEC.
No SEC filing reports revenue for Alibaba or Moonshot AI. We don’t use run-rates from press reports.
Audited SEC disclosures only, from EDGAR’s XBRL data (the SEC’s tagged financial data). Consolidated figures come from company facts, and segment figures from the filing’s own XBRL. If a lab’s S-1 has no tagged financials, we read its printed statement of operations until its first tagged 10-Q. Interim periods from it are unaudited and marked. Each value links to the filing that reported it. With no audited disclosure on file, nothing is shown. Press-reported run-rates are excluded.
