The primary purpose of a business is to generate profits that can be reinvested in expansion or utilized for rewarding shareholders. Net profit margin is an effective tool to measure the profits reaped by a business.
A higher net margin underlines a company’s efficiency in translating sales into actual profits. Moreover, this metric gives insight into how well a company is run and the headwinds weighing on it. Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V. IBA, AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. AMN, Veritiv Corporation VRTV and CONSOL Energy Inc. CEIX boast solid net profit margins.
Net Profit Margin = Net profit/Sales * 100.
