More than 50% QoQ growth at Cohere headlines illustrates QoQ’s role as the comparison lens for earnings, AI investment, chips and digital-asset performance.
QoQ is the quarter-over-quarter comparison measure used across the coverage to describe sequential changes in company operating metrics, financial results, market demand and sector investment. It appears as a reporting lens rather than as an operating company, frequently alongside YoY comparisons in earnings and market-data stories.
Recent coverage has shifted from consumer-platform earnings toward AI, semiconductors and crypto-related financial indicators. The latest Cohere investor-memo reports put its 2025 ARR at about $240 million, above target, with QoQ growth of more than 50% and gross margins around 70%; earlier 2025 stories used the measure for Palantir’s results, BlackRock crypto-ETF inflows and rising bitcoin-mining costs.
The recurring tension is between headline growth and the durability of that growth when viewed sequentially. QoQ can underscore accelerating demand, as in ASML’s 169% jump in Q4 bookings and TrendForce’s 14.6% increase in foundry revenue led by TSMC, but it also exposes reversals such as BlackRock’s 83% QoQ decline in crypto-ETF inflows or past subscriber and user slowdowns at Disney and Snap.
If AI infrastructure, foundry capacity and AI-startup funding remain central to technology coverage, QoQ comparisons will continue to be a compact test of whether momentum is broadening or merely reflecting a single period. The measure is especially consequential where investment cycles and market flows can move quickly, though its usefulness depends on context because sequential changes can be volatile.
QoQ has appeared in 117 articles since 2016-01. Coverage peaked in 2024Q4 with 6 articles. Frequently mentioned alongside CNBC, Apple, YoY, Samsung.
