Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the portion of revenue left after covering direct production costs, and at 8.6% CNC keeps only 8.6 cents of every sales dollar to pay for everything else.

That is well below the sector median of 46.4%, placing the company in the 3rd percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, while the quarter-over-quarter change is -22.5%, and the two most recent values show a decline from 11.1% to 8.6%. A low margin combined with a sharp recent drop points to weaker pricing power or rising input costs, which increases investment risk. This trend and level directly support the overall CAUTIOUS verdict on the stock.
