Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

About these figures. Capital spending and free cash flow are left blank: Sunrun builds the solar systems it owns and the filings tag that spending in its own way. The small property and equipment line the data shows is only office and equipment spending.

Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.

What Sunrun does

Sunrun designs, installs, owns and maintains solar energy systems, and often battery storage, on homes in the United States. Its main customers are homeowners. Most of them do not buy a system. They sign a lease or a power purchase agreement, which Sunrun calls Customer Agreements, and pay for the solar power the system produces, with no large upfront cost.

Under these agreements Sunrun installs the system and typically provides the power for an initial term of 20 or 25 years, and it monitors, maintains and insures the system. After that term, customers can renew, typically at a 10% discount to then-prevailing power prices, buy the system, or have it removed. Sunrun also sells to some commercial developers through its multi-family and new homes offerings.

Sunrun sells through a partner network and its own direct-to-consumer sales. It receives payments from customers over time and qualifies for tax and other benefits. It pays for its upfront costs partly by financing these cash flows and tax benefits through tax equity, non-recourse debt and project equity.

Its biggest risks, as it describes them

  • A solar and battery storage market that may not grow as fast as it expects.
  • Tariffs and trade measures that raise the cost of equipment.
  • Competition from traditional energy companies and other solar companies.
  • A drop in the retail price of utility electricity, which would make its offer less attractive.
  • Higher interest rates, which raise the cost of the capital it relies on.
From Sunrun's annual report on Form 10-K, filed February 26, 2026, in our words; the 10-K has the full description and every risk factor. Updated with each new annual report.

Percent. Return on capital is after-tax operating income over the money invested in the business (debt plus equity, minus cash); return on equity is net income over shareholders' equity. Both use the average of opening and closing balances.

Net debt to EBITDA is debt minus cash, divided by operating income before depreciation and amortization: roughly how many years of those earnings the net debt equals. Debt to equity is debt as a multiple of shareholders' equity. Interest coverage is operating income divided by interest expense. The current ratio is current assets over current liabilities; the quick ratio leaves out inventory.

Cash flow

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital expenditure. The SEC's structured data for Sunrun's filings doesn't give both for any year, so free cash flow is left out.

Stock-based compensation and buybacks
US$ billions, fiscal years. Shares paid to employees (stock-based compensation, a cost that uses no cash) against cash spent buying shares back. Buybacks that only match it leave the share count roughly where it was.

The latest 12 of 49 trades. Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from their Form 4 filings with the SEC: one row per person, day and filing, at the day's average price. Grants, option exercises and shares withheld for tax aren't counted. Insiders buy and sell for many reasons, such as taxes, spreading their savings or a plan set up months earlier, so a trade on its own says little about where a company is heading.

Indicators

Four widely used measures, worked out from the company's filings. The cutoffs are the ones their authors or users go by, not a verdict of ours.

Rule of 40———
Altman Z''−0.27−1.58−0.09
Accruals ratio−4.0%−10.3%4.1%
Piotroski F-score: how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency the company passed in the year (Piotroski, 2000); 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Rule of 40: revenue growth plus free cash flow margin; software investors treat 40% or more as the bar. Altman Z'': working capital, retained earnings, operating income and equity weighed against assets and liabilities (Altman, 1995); Altman puts above 2.6 in the safe zone and below 1.1 in the distress zone. Accruals ratio: net income minus cash from operations, over average total assets; lower means profit is backed by cash.
