Hi Clark, From MoneyCentral database, QCOM historical average profit margin is following: Profit Margins % Company Industry S&P 500 Gross Margin 34.9 40.9 48.0 Pre-Tax Margin 4.7 8.3 9.6 Net Profit Margin 3.4 5.3 6.8 5Yr Gross Margin (5-Year Avg.) 35.3 41.0 46.0 5Yr PreTax Margin (5-Year Avg.) 4.9 8.3 9.8 5Yr Net Profit Margin(5-Year Avg.) 3.9 5.0 6.5 Media General Industry: Communication Equipment Computed ratios are based on latest 12 months' results What I expect is the company to improve its profitability above the its industrial average 5.3 to 10.6 to achieve its Gorilla status. After all, we are investing in the company management team to expand their revenue and net profit margin by using its technological lead advantage in CDMA and improve share holder's value. I hope they will be able to deliver that in the next two or three quarter time frame. Cheers! Mike By the way, Dell's net profit margin is above 8%.
