Starting at 3.39% in March 2020, the net profit margin gradually increased, reaching a peak of 29.33% in June 2022.

The net profit margin is an important indicator of a company's profitability, representing the percentage of revenue that translates into profit after all expenses are deducted. A higher net profit margin indicates that the company is more efficient in converting revenue into profit.

Matson Inc experienced a significant improvement in profitability from 2020 to mid-2022, but the subsequent decrease suggests potential challenges in maintaining the same level of profitability. It would be essential for the company to closely monitor its expenses and revenue generation to sustain and improve its net profit margin in the future.
