Oper. margin

GAAP operating margin

One of the 61 measures in Stock Scorer, under Quality — How much of the revenue is really kept — and what did it take to earn it?

How it is worked out

Operating income ÷ revenue × 100

Operating income (also called EBIT) is what is left of sales after the cost of the product and the cost of running the company, before interest and tax. Revenue is total sales to customers before any cost is taken off. Both over the trailing twelve months.

How to read it

50% earns a 10; set margin_scale per ticker for sectors that cannot reach it
