TL;DR
A renewable-energy tag does not imply positive cash generation. First Solar’s revenue and operating profit increased from fiscal 2023 through 2025, but source free cash flow was negative in the first two years and positive in 2025. A latest-year positive-cash-flow filter passes that example; requiring all three years to be positive fails it. The industry screen includes broader businesses, so inspect their relevant exposure and state additional financial conditions explicitly.

Does a renewable-energy tag imply positive cash generation?
First Solar provides a concrete additional solar-manufacturing example. Revenue and operating profit increased across FY2023 → FY2025, but source FCF was negative in the first two periods.
Test the exposure with reported financials
Exact annual source FCF in USD billions. Only FY2025 is positive; the three-year positive-FCF condition therefore fails. These are whole-company financials, not energy-project returns.

Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Not returned means missing, never zero. Source FCF definitions require the reconciliation below.
Read-only NexusTrade sec_edgar fundamentals retrieved October 12, 2026 and checked against the original annual statements. Amounts below are USD billions; the retained raw response uses USD. These are historical fiscal periods, not a live quote or a forecast.
Apply the condition and explain the result
Reported inputs
Revenue increased $3.319B → $4.206B → $5.219B; operating margin was 25.83% → 33.15% → 30.59%.
Calculated comparison
Source FCF moved −$0.785B → −$0.308B → $1.187B. A requirement for positive FCF in every one of the last three fiscal years fails this example; a latest-year-only condition passes.
What the industry tag cannot establish
The capture's TSLA, BRK-B and CVX reflect broad renewable exposure. Read tax-credit recognition, factory spend, backlog and cancellation risk before treating the First Solar profit trend as energy-project returns. This example is not a claim about current screen order.
Reproduce this screen and comparison
Open the actual filter, check its current result dates, then reproduce the financial calculation. An industry-only URL does not silently implement an extra profitability or cash-flow rule. Record any added condition explicitly.
Check fiscal periods and public availability
Inspect every input period, publication date and source
Select FY rows by periodEnd instead of assuming the array is latest first. Source statements may present comparative years in one filing. Their later publication does not prove those exact restated values were available at the earlier historical date.

Investigate the business exposure
Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway and Chevron appeared among the first matches. The result is broader than renewable-only businesses. Check the relevant products or subsidiaries and their contribution to the company before treating the list as a clean-energy portfolio.
Make the selection explicit
Inspect the captured screen selection and company links
Check the filter Aurora resolves from your request. Confirm the resolved classification before treating a result as a match. Asking for profitable companies adds a financial condition; this industry-only screen does not silently claim to implement that condition.
