Broadcom Inc's operating profit margin has shown fluctuations over the past few quarters. The operating profit margin, which represents the percentage of revenue that remains after deducting operating expenses, has ranged from a low of 14.85% in February 2020 to a high of 45.25% in October 2023.

In recent quarters, there has been a general upward trend in the operating profit margin, with the margin improving to 26.10% in November 2024 from 15.90% in February 2020. This indicates that the company has been effectively managing its operating expenses relative to its revenue.

The operating profit margin exceeding 30% in several quarters suggests that Broadcom has been successful in generating significant profits from its core operations. However, investors and analysts may want to monitor future trends in the operating profit margin to assess the company's operational efficiency and profitability.
