Deep Analysis

Gross margin of 34.8% means the company keeps 34.8 cents of every dollar of revenue after paying direct production costs.

That places it below the sector median of 44.2%, in the 31st percentile among peers, so roughly two-thirds of similar companies earn a larger margin. A year-over-year change is not available, but quarter-over-quarter margin rose by 13.0% from 30.8% to 34.8%. The level is below average, yet the latest jump from the prior quarter signals a recent improvement. That combination suggests some near-term risk from below-median profitability, but also a possible turnaround opportunity if the higher margin holds. On balance, this metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because the margin remains well under the sector median despite the quarterly gain.
