Now compare the company's profitability against the average industry margins shown below (Aswath Damodaran, January 2018). How do you interpret Toy's performance? Explain. Operating Profit Margin= 18 300/217 000 *100 = 8.43% With 8.43% we are below the average of 12.87%. Thus the performance is not as great. They could do a lot better. And this margin is only with the new investment, with the old operating profit they would be doing even worse compared to their competitors.
