Deep Analysis

Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue left after paying direct production costs, so 27.2% means CARR keeps $0.272 per dollar of sales before overhead.

That figure sits far below the sector median of 46.4%, placing CARR in the 19th percentile among peers. The trend data is incomplete: the year-over-year change is N/A, while the quarter-over-quarter change is +16.7%, with historical values of 27.2% most recently and 23.3% prior. The combination of a low margin level with only one quarter of improvement offers limited evidence of a durable turnaround, leaving valuation risk if the gain reverses. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because CARR’s profitability is well below industry norms and the available trend is too short to confirm a lasting shift.
