Top 5 Profitable Stocks with Terrific Growth in the Offing
A company with a high level of profitability is able to meet all its operating and non-operating costs and expenses, and still provides high returns to its investors. A profitable company with strong fundamentals usually offers enormous gains to its investors. In this respect, we have used an accounting ratio to recognize a profitable company from a loss-making one.
The best accounting tool to understand a company’s profitability position is ratio analysis. Generally, there are four key profitability ratios — gross income ratio, operating income ratio, pre-tax profit margin and net income ratio. Here, we have used the most effective and frequently used profitability ratio — net income ratio.
