Patterson Companies Inc's profitability ratios have shown fluctuating trends over the past few quarters. The gross profit margin has ranged between 19.39% to 21.30%, indicating moderate stability in the company's ability to generate profits from its core operations.
However, the operating profit margin has varied significantly, with positive margins as high as 4.28% and negative margins as low as -10.42%. This suggests potential challenges in controlling operating expenses and maximizing operational efficiency.
Similarly, the pretax margin and net profit margin have also demonstrated volatility, fluctuating between positive and negative values. This indicates that Patterson Companies Inc has faced challenges in managing its pre-tax and net profits, potentially due to fluctuating revenue streams or varying cost structures.
Overall, while the gross profit margin has remained relatively stable, Patterson Companies Inc may need to focus on improving operational efficiency and cost control measures to enhance its overall profitability in the future.
