How this list works
Net profit divided by revenue for the latest reviewed financial year. Non-positive revenue and banks are excluded because their margins are not comparable. Ranked from highest to lowest by net profit margin, with market cap breaking ties. The universe is ordinary shares and REITs only, with fresh, dated closes under the screener's trading-day freshness rules. Annual statements must pass the screener’s review and comparability checks; financial years can differ between companies. Sources: stored exchange closing prices, issuer annual reports and reviewed dividend announcements, using the same valuation data as company pages and the screener. Not investment advice.
