Varying Pricing Power over the past 10 years
STN has maintained substantial gross margins, suggesting that they have been able to set prices without consideration of the cost of goods sold.
However, there is a substantial variation in their Gross Profit Margins from year-to-year, which indicates inconsistent performance.
Look at reasons for this inconsistency to determine the likelihood of future sustainability.
$65.89 of every $100 worth of sales have been Gross Profit, on average over the past 10 years.
