The net profit margin of QuinStreet Inc. has exhibited considerable fluctuations over the observed period from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2025. At the end of the fiscal year 2021, the company recorded a positive net profit margin of 4.07%, indicating that it was profitable during that period, with net income constituting approximately 4.07% of total revenues.

However, this profitability significantly declined in the subsequent year, with the net profit margin dropping to a negative value of -0.90% by June 30, 2022. This shift suggests that the company experienced a break-even or slightly unprofitable situation, indicating increased expenses, reduced revenues, or both, which impacted overall profitability.

The downward trend continued into the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with the net profit margin deteriorating further to -11.86%. This indicates that the company faced considerable challenges, likely incurring higher costs relative to revenues, leading to a substantial deficit relative to sales.

In the following year, by June 30, 2024, the net profit margin improved somewhat to -5.11%, reflecting a partial recovery or cost containment efforts, although profitability had not yet been restored to positive territory.

By June 30, 2025, the net profit margin turned positive again at 0.43%, signaling a potential return to profitability or improved operational efficiency. However, the margin remained relatively modest, indicating that while the company was profitable in that period, the profit margins were thin, and continued operational or strategic adjustments might be necessary to sustain or enhance profitability levels.

Overall, the data depicts a company that faced a significant profitability downturn after 2021, with a recent recovery trend emerging by mid-2025. The fluctuations in net profit margin highlight challenges related to cost management or revenue generation, emphasizing the importance of continued strategic focus to stabilize and improve profitability.
