What is happening to your client business’s profit margin?

Comptus has had a very steady output price year-over-year growth rate of between 1.0 and 2.0 throughout the birth of their business in the early 2010’s throughout mid to late 2021. With this being said their profit margin has been up and down throughout these years. This is because there is a lot of fluctuation between their output price year-to-year growth rate in this time period. With this fluctuation they have found times with a high profit margin such as time periods of mid 2015 - mid 2016. But there were also times where their profit margin was hurting such as time periods of 2017 - mid 2018. It seems like they did pretty well during these years even through fluctuation. The Covid - 19 and Covid - 19 recovery time period was very hard for Comptus as materials were hard to get, there was more unemployment, and while simply the world stopped for a split second. Their input prices rose to all time levels. Through 2022 they have been recovering very well and their output price has dropped all the way down to -.05 while their input price has risen to 9.3! Comptus is doing very well and hoped to continue this positive turn.
