GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Cyclical and Turnaround Stocks: There Is a Lot of Value in This Market (Part 5)
October 18, 2012
- Cyclical And Turnaround Stocks: There Is A Lot Of Value In This Market (Part 5)
This is the last installment of our five-part series: “There Is a Lot of Value in This Market.” In some ways, this article represents prima facie evidence supporting some of our main hypotheses. First of all, this article will clearly support the notion that not all common stocks are the same and therefore, they should all not be painted with the same broad brush stroke (generalities or opinions). The examples in this article will clearly illustrate just how different individual companies are. Therefore, this further validates the notion that each company should be evaluated on its own individual merit, thereby validating the concept that it is a market of stocks and not a stock market.
