GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyÂ’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.

The Company is a global manufacturer of electric motors and a manufacturer of electronic machinery and components and other products. With a particular focus on brushless DC motors, it has constantly explored new ways to serve the global market through the introduction of energy-efficient, environment-friendly motor drives. The Small Precision Motors business covers an array of direct-current, or DC, electric motors operating at less than 100 watts. This business group is divided into four product categories according to application: hard disk drive spindle motors, other small precision brushless DC motors, brushless DC fans, and other small precision motors.

The main products in this product category are brushless DC motors used in optical disk drives mainly for PCs, digital video recorders, and high-end office equipment including laser printers and hybrid copiers. The Company's brushless DC fans, which are used to disperse the excess heat generated by electronic components, thereby keeping electrical equipment cool, currently have applications in PCs and computer servers, game machine consoles, mobile phone base stations and a variety of other products that require cooling functions.
