Expand Energy Corporation's profitability ratios have shown significant fluctuations over the past few quarters. The gross profit margin has generally remained high, fluctuating between 94.26% to 98.78%, indicating efficient cost management and pricing strategies.

The operating profit margin, which reflects the company's ability to generate profit from its core operations, has varied widely from a positive 45.10% to negative 165.74%. This suggests potential volatility in operating expenses or revenues.

Similarly, the pretax margin, representing the company's profitability before taxes, has been inconsistent, ranging from a positive 44.11% to a negative 185.74%. This indicates fluctuations in non-operating income/expenses or the tax burden.

The net profit margin, a measure of overall profitability, has also shown variability, ranging from a positive 50.00% to a negative 185.37%. This suggests fluctuations in other income/expenses and tax provisions impacting the company's bottom line.

Overall, while Expand Energy Corporation has maintained strong gross profit margins, its operating, pretax, and net profit margins have shown significant fluctuations, implying potential challenges in controlling operating expenses, managing non-operating factors, and tax planning. Further analysis of cost structures and revenue streams may be necessary to understand the underlying factors driving these fluctuations.
