Good article although especially in tech it’s not so simple. Thanks to games with depreciation and other financial engineering a company may look “profitable” but still be quite unhealthy or at risk. One generally needs to look at “profit” in the context of cash flow.

I.e. a company could be “profitable” but also basically broke at the same time with no cash to pay people or suppliers.
