Questions, answered.

What does net margin mean?
The share of every sales dollar that becomes bottom-line profit.
How do you interpret net margin?
Higher is better, but net margin mixes operating performance with financing and tax effects and one-off items — read it alongside operating margin to separate the operating story from the rest.
How does net margin compare across companies?
Comparable across peers but sensitive to leverage and tax structure; two operationally identical firms can show different net margins purely from financing.
