To calculate the Income per Employee, also known as the Profit per Employee, you take the net income that the company had for the latest quarter and divide that number by the number of employees. The higher the number, the greater the profits that are generated by each employee on average. It is another way of looking at the efficiency of companies and comparing stocks.
If you look at the technology sector, you can see some interesting comparisons. Here are some examples:

The companies with the worst statistics have the most room to improve. So one never knows whether to invest in the best or the worst?
ReplyDeleteThat may be true in regards to Income per Employee since a lot of companies don't have earnings when they first go public. But for the Revenues per Employee ratio, when comparing companies in the same industry, if they have the worst statistics, there is something wrong.
