Claim 5: “Kelly Ortberg, who took over as CEO nearly two years ago”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states Kelly Ortberg took over 'nearly two years ago'. Wikipedia and official biographies explicitly state he became CEO on August 8, 2024. Given the current context of 2026 reports, this is less than two years, but the specific date of August 2024 contradicts a 'nearly two year' tenure if the current date is mid-2026.

Claim 9: “The company started 2026 in the hole, with a cash burn of $1.45 billion in the first quarter.”
VERIFIED
While the specific 'cash burn' phrase is used in the claim, a report from April 22, 2026, confirms free cash flow (non-GAAP) of ($1.5) billion for the first quarter, which aligns with the claim's $1.45 billion figure (rounding/slight variation).
