Investors always have a keen eye for companies having a high level of profitability regardless of the market condition. And profitability analysis is the best measure of a company’s ability to offer sturdy returns to its investors.

There are a variety of profitability ratios that can help investors find highly profitable stocks, but the most successful and frequently used one is net income ratio or net profit margin.

Net Income Ratio

Net income ratio gives us the exact profitability level of a company. It reflects the percentage of net income to total sales revenues. Using net income ratio, one can determine a company’s efficiency in meeting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues. A higher net income ratio usually implies a company’s ability to generate ample revenues and successfully manage all business functions.

Screening Parameters

Net income ratio is not the only indicator of future winners. So, we have added a few more criteria to arrive at a winning strategy.
