Here is a description of the Margins and Turnover ratios and numbers (fundamental data) downloaded by this object:

Net Margin: Expressed as a percentage, the Net Margin is calculated by dividing the net income for the previous 12 months by the sales for the previous 12 months. This ratio measures how a company controls its costs. This ratio is generally used to compare companies that operate within the same industry.

Operating Margin 12-Months: The 12-Months operating margin is the income after all expenses generated by a company in the last 12-month (excluding extraordinary items and discontinued operations) divided by the sales in the previous 12 months.

Turnover: This ratio measures how often a company collects the accounts receivable amount during a year. It is the 12 month sales divided by four-quarter average receivables.

Inventory Turnover: A measure that shows how often a company's inventory is sold and replaced in a year period. High inventory turnover values are considered better because a low value means that the company's inventory stays unsold for a long period. This ratio is calculated by taking the 12-month cost of goods sold and dividing it by the four-quarter average inventory.

Asset Utilization: It is the 12-month sales divided by the four-quarter average total assets. It measures the speed at which a company turns its assets into sales.
