The net profit margin of Cardinal Health Inc. has demonstrated notable fluctuations over the analyzed period, reflecting varying operational efficiencies and profitability. Starting from a modest 0.63% as of September 30, 2020, the margin increased modestly to 0.88% by the end of 2020, indicating some improvement in profitability. Throughout 2021, it remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, peaking at 0.74% in March and declining to 0.32% by the end of the year.
In 2022, the company experienced negative net profit margins, with figures declining to -0.66% by December, and continuing negative through the first three quarters of 2023. The margins reached their lowest point at -0.66% in December 2022, indicating periods of net losses relative to revenues. However, starting from March 2023, the net profit margin showed signs of recovery, turning positive at 0.23%, and maintaining relatively low yet positive values through mid-2023.
Moving into later periods, there has been a gradual upward trend in net profit margins, reaching approximately 0.70% by March and June 2025, with the most recent data indicating a margin of 0.70% as of June 2025. This progression suggests a trend toward improved profitability, moving from negative territory back into positive margins.
Overall, the net profit margin trend indicates periods of financial strain, particularly in late 2022 and part of 2023, followed by a gradual recovery trajectory. The recent positive and increasing margins imply potential improvements in operational performance and cost management, although margins remain relatively modest, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving high profitability levels.
