Operating Margin Operating Margin
Operating profit as a percentage of revenue — how efficiently a business is run. Revenue के मुक़ाबले operating profit कितने प्रतिशत है — business कितने कुशलता से चल रहा है।
Operating margin shows how much profit a company keeps from each rupee of revenue after covering operating costs, before interest and tax: Operating Margin = Operating Profit ÷ Revenue × 100. An IT services company on NSE earning ₹5,000 crore revenue with ₹1,250 crore operating profit has a 25% margin. Tracking margin trends across quarters reveals whether input costs are rising faster than pricing power. A compressing margin over several quarters is an early warning sign even if absolute profits are still growing.
Operating margin दिखाता है कि interest और tax से पहले, operating costs घटाने के बाद, revenue के हर रुपये में से कितना मुनाफ़ा बचता है: Operating Margin = Operating Profit ÷ Revenue × 100. NSE पर किसी IT services कंपनी का revenue ₹5,000 crore हो और operating profit ₹1,250 crore हो तो margin 25% है। तिमाही-दर-तिमाही margin trends track करने से पता चलता है कि input costs pricing power से तेज़ तो नहीं बढ़ रहे। कई quarters में घटता margin early warning है — भले ही absolute profits अभी भी बढ़ रहे हों।
