Profit margin

Net margin: profit after everything

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

Net income ÷ revenue × 100

Net income is profit after every cost, including interest, tax and one-off items. This is the share of sales an owner is finally left with.

How to read it

includes tax, interest and one-offs, so it is noisier than the operating margin but it is what an owner keeps

Which figures it needs

Computed from 2 figures taken from the filing:

The XBRL tags behind it

These are the element names looked for in a filing, in order. The first one a company reports is the one used, and the company page names which it was — so any figure here can be checked against the filing it came from.

Whether it counts

This measure is not counted by default. It can be added to Quality on the dashboard, and it then takes its share of that dimension.
