A company\u0026#8217;s cost of goods sold, represents the expense related to labour, raw materials and manufacturing overhead involved in its production process. This expense is deducted from the company\u0026#8217;s net sales/revenue, which results in a company\u0026#8217;s first level of profit or gross profit.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gross profit margin is used to analyse how efficiently a company is using its raw materials, labour and manufacturing-related fixed assets to generate profits. A higher margin percentage is a favourable profit indicator. Industry characteristics of raw material costs, particularly as these relate to the stability or lack thereof, have a major effect on a company\u0026#8217;s gross margin. Generally, management cannot exercise complete control over such costs. Companies without a production process (ex., retailers and service businesses) don\u0026#8217;t have a cost of sales exactly. In these instances, the expense is recorded as a \u0026#8220;cost of merchandise\u0026#8221; and a \u0026#8220;cost of services\u0026#8221;, respectively.

Due to the vast differences between companies in different industries, there is no single set of metrics that allows for comparison between all companies. Instead there are many different measurements of return, each of which gives a slightly different view on the company\u0026#8217;s performance. Not all metrics are relevant to all companies and within each industry, analysts will focus on those metrics that are most indicative of the actual performance of the companies in that sector. It is only through the analysis of different measures of return and their comparison with industry norms, as well as the specific considerations of the stock in question, that an accurate assessment of profitability can be made.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other most commonly used measurements of return are as follows:\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturn On Equity\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the most relevant measure of return to the holders of common stock and one of the most important of all financial ratios.
