Profit Margin

Profit margin measures how much profit a company earns relative to its revenue. It is expressed as a percentage and calculated by dividing net income by total revenue. This metric helps assess operational efficiency, cost control, and pricing strategy. Higher profit margins indicate stronger financial performance and better management of expenses relative to sales.
