"Quarter of Starlink having positive cash flow" means what exactly? I.'ve never heard a quarter of a corporation having positive cash flow as any kind of business metric.


Meaning, for one fiscal quarter (ie a 3-month period) they made more money than they spent.  "...they had a quarter of..." means the 3-month period of the calendar (a quarter), not 25% of the business.  :)
