Deep Analysis

Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue a company retains after paying direct production costs, with 46.3% meaning CPRT keeps over 46 cents of each dollar in sales after those costs.

That figure sits slightly above the sector median of 44.7%, placing the company in the 52nd percentile among its peers. No trend data is available — the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and historical trend are all listed as N/A. Because the current margin is just above the sector midpoint but lacks any directional trend, the metric signals neither a clear advantage nor a deterioration, implying a neutral risk profile. This level of gross margin neither improves nor undermines the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the company performs near the peer average without evidence of movement.
