McDonalds has an operating margin over 40%. And for Altria is above 50%. And for Visa or CME Group above 60%.
How are any of those things relevant for the comparability of the businesses of Apple and Microsoft anyway?
- smeagull 4y agoThe holding company that does no selling to customers and only manages land and franchises has a margin over 40%. Nobody is surprised there.
