- algoatecorn 4y agoYes, correct. Aka net income. I was asking because the original commenter was claiming Tesla earnings were higher than Toyota which is far from true.
- dragontamer 4y agoNet income is profits, also known as earnings. Gross income is just an intermediate-step in the way towards the bottom line (net and/or profits). Its strange that the earlier poster wants to talk about gross instead of net on this point. You can almost always tell that someone is being a bit shady with their arguments when they say "income" or "profits" and then backtrack it to say "Oh, I meant gross income". When you say "income" or "profits", everyone rightfully assumes you mean "net income", the bottom line. The most important number.
