Performance Food Group Co's operating profit margin has shown some fluctuations over the past few quarters. The company experienced a steady improvement from negative margins in the early quarters of 2021 to positive margins in 2022. However, the operating profit margin has been relatively low, ranging from 0.53% to 1.42%, indicating tight profit margins.

The highest operating profit margin was observed in December 2023 at 1.42%, while the lowest was in March 2021 at -0.55%. Overall, the trend has been positive, with the company gradually improving its operational efficiency and profitability. However, the margin remains relatively thin, suggesting the company may still face challenges in effectively controlling costs and maximizing profitability.

It would be important for Performance Food Group Co to continue monitoring and improving its operating profit margin to ensure sustainable financial performance and long-term success.
