Abstract

Any business’s main goal is to maximize profitability. Analysis of profitability is the process of assessing a company’s capacity to make a profit using financial metrics like revenue ratios and margin ratios. To ascertain how effectively a company is turning a profit, it involves looking at both operating costs and sales revenue. Companies can monitor their progress by calculating and comparing profitability ratios from various time periods. Profitability ratios quantify and assess your company’s potential to turn a profit relative to its costs and revenues over a specific time frame. A company’s ability to produce revenue as well as value for shareholders can be demonstrated by analysing its earnings ratios. A company is more profitable and more desirable to investors when the ratio is higher. Profitability analysis examines the current financial situation to assist businesses in deciding on upcoming plans, financial commitments, and the company’s success. Using profitability analysis to inform important business decisions looks like this GPR, NPR, OPR, ROCE, RONW etc. Gross profit margin aids in determining whether a company is making enough money from its sales. Businesses can use profitability analysis to calculate the earnings or return proportion that they must pay to their stockholders. It also helps prospective investors make investment decisions by providing them with information about a company’s financial situation. A smaller margin of gross profit means that the company must make expense reductions. This paper aims to shed light on the profitability trends among India’s top 15 cement producers. Additionally, it tries to track and evaluate the industry position of other firms. The profitability metrics are given ratings and placed inside a predetermined range for comparison how they have performed. The cornerstone of the research was its secondary information, which was collected from published yearly reports during a span of ten years (2014–2023). The relevant data have been reviewed using statistical methods such as Mean, SD, and Rank, along with substantial ratios of profitability with the assistance of the R programming.
