Income & Cash Flow analysis.

An income statement shows what a company earned and spent over a period — revenue at the top, costs and expenses in between, and net income at the bottom. A cash flow statement tracks the actual cash moving in and out, across operations, investing, and financing. Read together, they show whether reported earnings are backed by real cash.
