I think I once read that typical profit margins for PCs is the net margins are in the single digit range and the gross margins are about 20% over that. I was wondering what would happen if Intel bought Compaq back in 1991 (when Rod Canion and Jim Harris was still at Compaq) for a while now. Intel has a high profit margin, and Compaq had higher profit margin back in 1991. This also reminds me that big box stores typically requires a higher profit margin than small stores.
- Tantonos 10y agoIntel has super high margins. As they basically sell a commodity. Cause are nowhere close to manufacture as what they are now
- addicted 10y agoThats the opposite of what selling commodity does. Selling commodities means low profit margins. So if Intel has high profit margins and is selling a commodity it's despite that not because of it.
