Starting from October 31, 2020, with a net profit margin of 10.11%, the margin experienced modest changes, reaching a peak of 13.13% by July 31, 2023. This indicates an improvement in profitability efficiency over this timeframe. The steady increase continues into October 31, 2023, with a margin of 13.62%, followed by further growth to 14.08% in January 2024 and reaching a high of 14.70% in July 2024, signifying increasing profitability relative to revenue.
Subsequently, the net profit margin exhibits a slight decline, falling to 14.19% as of October 31, 2024, and decreasing further in early 2025 to 13.62% in January and 13.35% in April. By July 31, 2025, the margin drops to 12.50%, indicating a slight reversal or normalization after peak periods of profitability.
Overall, the trend indicates that Brady Corporation has experienced a consistent improvement in its net profit margin from approximately 10.11% in late 2020 to over 14% in mid-2024. This positive trajectory suggests enhanced profitability or operating efficiencies during this period. The subsequent decline in early 2025 may reflect competitive, economic, or operational factors affecting profit margins, though the margin remains relatively high compared to the initial value.
