Banks—Regional Companies By Gross Profit

Gross Profit is the most basic measure of business operational efficiency. It is simply the difference between sales revenue and the cost associated with making a product or providing a service. It is calculated before deducting administrative expenses, taxes, and interest payments. Gross Profit varies significantly from one sector to another and tells an investor how much money a business would have made if it didn't have to pay any overhead expenses such as salary, taxes, or rent.
