The average net profit margin at the Cambodia Securities Exchange declined by more than two percentage points last year, which CSX says should not worry investors since companies listed at the local stock exchange are still performing well.
According to a recently released report, the average net profit margin for the five companies listed at CSX has been on the decline for the last three years. In 2017, it was 14.58 percent, a drop from 2016’s 16.88 percent and 2015’s 19.42 percent.
Net profit margin is the percentage of revenue remaining after all operating expenses, interest, taxes and preferred stock dividends (but not common stock dividends) have been deducted from a company’s total revenue.
The company with the highest net profit margin last year was Phnom Penh Autonomous Port (28.44 percent), while Grand Twins International had the lowest (0.82 percent).
