The net profit margin of AeroVironment Inc. has exhibited significant fluctuations over the observed period. As of April 30, 2021, the company's net profit margin stood at 8.57%, indicating a profitable operation with a healthy proportion of revenue converted into net income. However, this margin sharply declined to -1.97% by April 30, 2022, reflecting a move into operational losses and potential challenges impacting profitability. The negative trend intensified by April 30, 2023, with the net profit margin decreasing further to -32.14%, suggesting considerable difficulties in maintaining profitability during that fiscal year. Interestingly, the company experienced a substantial turnaround by April 30, 2024, with the net profit margin rebounding to 8.32%, indicating the return to profitability and improved cost management or revenue performance. Yet, this improvement was not sustained, as the margin decreased again to 6.30% by April 30, 2025, although it remained positive. Overall, the trajectory demonstrates considerable volatility, characterized by periods of profit, sharp losses, and subsequent recovery, highlighting the company's susceptibility to external and internal factors influencing its profitability.
