RE: Profit Margin Dropping? Retail Zip Sales Slowing? Nope.

Ken,

You make a number of good points, but I believe you're in error on at least two:

>> (6) HUGE PROFIT MARGIN

- and dropping...<<


Here are the GP%'s for the last eight quarters (Q1 96 - Q4 97):

27.0% 26.9% 26.3% 29.0% 29.7% 29.4% 32.5% 33.4%

It looks like they're going up, not down.

>> (8) STRONG AFTERMARKET APPEAL FOR ZIP AND JAZ

- hmm.. remove OEM sales and relook at the numbers...


4Q 97 Retail Zip Unit sales were up 66% over 4Q 96. 1997 Retail Zip Unit sales were up 67% over 1996. Sure, OEM sales are growing faster than that, but Zip is still growing rapidly at retail too.
