Three Margins, Three Diagnoses

Gross, operating and net margins each isolate a different part of the business, and the one that is falling names the problem.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00There are three margins, and which one is falling tells you what is wrong.
  2. 0:05What each isolates. Gross is the product. Operating is the company. Net is everything else too.
  3. 0:15The diagnosis. Which margin moved tells you where to look, and the three rarely move together.
  4. 0:24Why levels do not compare. A grocer at three percent can be healthier than a software firm at fifteen.
  5. 0:32The signal to prize. Gross margin holding while a competitor's falls is real pricing power.
  6. 0:40Find which one moved, and you have found the question.
