Questions, answered.

What does gross margin mean?
How much of every sales dollar is left after the direct cost of what was sold.
How do you interpret gross margin?
Higher and stable gross margins indicate pricing power and a durable cost structure. A declining trend signals input-cost pressure, pricing competition, or a shift toward lower-margin products.
How does gross margin compare across companies?
Highly comparable within an industry, less so across industries — software runs 70%+ while distributors run in single digits. Track the trend more than the absolute level across sectors.
