FR Gross Margin Analysis

Gross margin is the percentage of revenue a company keeps after paying the direct costs of producing its goods or services, so a 75.4% margin means 75.4 cents of every sales dollar remain before other expenses.

That figure sits far above the sector median of 46.4%, placing FR in the 89th percentile of its peers. For year-over-year change, the data is N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is +4.0%, moving from 72.5% to 75.4% over the two most recent reported periods. The level shows a strong cost structure relative to competitors, while the recent improvement adds a positive near-term signal, but the lack of YoY and 8-quarter trend data keeps the picture incomplete. A high margin with a recent uptick suggests limited downside risk from input costs, yet the sparse history leaves room for volatility. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the margin is a clear strength, but not enough on its own to shift the stock to a more favorable rating.
