Net marginiNet marginWhat it is:What is left of sales once everything is paid, production, overheads, interest and tax (net income divided by sales).How to read it:Of every 100 euros sold, this is what really comes back to the shareholder. A net margin well below the operating margin points to heavy debt or a high tax bill.

Gross marginiGross marginWhat it is:What is left of sales after the cost of making what was sold (sales minus cost of production, divided by sales).How to read it:It says how much pricing power the company has.

Return on equity (ROE)iReturn on equity (ROE)What it is:The year's profit against shareholders' equity, the money shareholders put in and left in the company (capital plus retained earnings): a book value, not the share price.How to read it:The higher it is, the more the company grows its shareholders' money. But debt inflates it: a high ROE on a heavily indebted company is not real performance. Read it with the gearing (and with the ROIC, which debt does not flatter).Rating bandspeer median 10.11%Negative< 0%Low0% - 7.08%Fair7.08% - 12.13%High12.13% - 14.15%Exceptional14.15% - 202.16%

Return on invested capital (ROIC)iReturn on invested capital (ROIC)What it is:Operating profit (after tax) against all the capital used to run the business, the shareholders' AND the borrowed. All the money goes in one pot, wherever it came from, to measure what the business really produces.How to read it:The best judge of how good a business is, because debt does not flatter it, unlike the ROE (which swells when the company borrows). Above 15% the company creates value; below its cost of capital (about 8%, the rent on money) it destroys value even while profitable, because it earns less than its money costs it.Rating bandspeer median 8.44%Negative< 0%Low0% - 5.91%Fair5.91% - 10.13%High10.13% - 11.82%Exceptional11.82% - 168.87%

Margin stabilityiMargin stabilityWhat it is:How steady the margin stays from one year to the next, measured by its variation over several years (low variation = high stability).How to read it:A stable margin makes profit predictable and often reveals a real competitive advantage: a company that defends its prices and its costs. A saw-toothed margin, on the contrary, points to a cyclical or fragile business where one good year misleads; judge the average margin over a whole cycle rather than the snapshot of the moment.Rating bandsVery steady< 2%Steady2% - 5%Uneven5% - 10%Very uneven> 10%

The lower it is, the cheaper the share, but cheap is not always a bargain: the market often expects profits to fall.
