Durable competitive advantage creates a high Gross Margin % because of the freedom to price in excess of cost. Companies can be categorized by their Gross Margin %
1. Greater than 40% = Durable competitive advantage
2. Less than 40% = Competition eroding margins
3. Less than 20% = no sustainable competitive advantage
Consistency of Gross Margin is key
PT Petrindo Jaya Kreasi Tbk had a gross margin of 15.15% for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2026 => No sustainable competitive advantage
