Questions, answered.

What does operating margin mean?
The profit left from core operations for every dollar of sales, before interest and taxes.
How do you interpret operating margin?
Expanding operating margin shows operating leverage — revenue growing faster than the cost base. Compression points to rising overhead, pricing pressure, or investment ahead of revenue.
How does operating margin compare across companies?
Strong cross-company signal within a sector. Capital-light businesses sustain higher operating margins than capital-intensive ones.
