factor.explanation

The cost-to-profit ratio (TTM) reflects the net profit that a company can generate for each unit of cost invested in the past 12 months, and intuitively demonstrates the company's ability to use cost to create profits. The higher the value of this indicator, the more advantages the company has in cost control, the stronger its profitability, and thus the higher its operating efficiency. Investors and analysts can use this indicator to evaluate the profitability of a company and compare it with other companies in the same industry to understand its competitive position. In addition, the cost-to-profit ratio (TTM) can reflect the stability and sustainability of a company's profitability over a period of time, so it is an important fundamental factor in quantitative investment.
