 &lt;p&gt;Looking at the&amp;nbsp;earnings of a company often doesn&amp;#39;t tell the entire story. Increased earnings are good, but an increase does not mean that the profit margin of a company is improving. For instance, if a company has costs that have increased&amp;nbsp;at a greater rate than sales, it leads to a lower profit margin. This is an indication that costs need to be under better control. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine a company has a net income of $10 million&amp;nbsp;from sales of $100 million, giving&amp;nbsp;it a profit margin of 10% ($10 million/$100 million). If in the next year net income rose&amp;nbsp;to $15 million&amp;nbsp;on sales of $200 million,&amp;nbsp;its profit margin would fall to&amp;nbsp;7.5%. So while the company increased&amp;nbsp;its net income,&amp;nbsp;it has&amp;nbsp;done so with diminishing profit margins. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for more information please visit: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forexgen.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.forexgen.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
