Comptus periodically struggled to keep profit margins sustainable, especially during periods of 2017-2018 which can be chalked up to expensive metal product prices. They struggled immensely during the end of the covid years as supply chain issues and worker issues caused the already high metal prices to skyrocket. After these prices reached a high of 36.5 in may 2021 they started a slow decrease, even though prices were increasing they were increasing at a decreasing rate which allowed their output price to catch up. In June of 2022 they finally saw a much more sustainable profit margin.
