Net profit margin measures the percentage of revenue that translates into profit after all expenses have been deducted. Looking at the data provided for SunCoke Energy Inc over the period from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024, we observe fluctuations in the net profit margin.

The company started with negative net profit margins in March and June 2020, indicating that expenses exceeded revenue, resulting in losses. However, the trend started to improve by September 2020 when the net profit margin turned positive at 0.51%, and this trend continued to improve gradually over the following quarters.

By December 2024, the net profit margin reached 4.96%, showing a significant improvement compared to the negative margins in 2020. This positive trend suggests that the company effectively managed its costs and expenses relative to its revenue, leading to an increase in profitability over the years.

Overall, the data indicates a positive trajectory in SunCoke Energy Inc's net profit margin, reflecting improved operational efficiency and potentially better financial performance in the years following the initial negative margins observed in 2020.
