Top Consumer Cyclical Stocks by Gross Margin

Top consumer cyclical companies ranked by gross margin, latest annual filings.

What Gross Margin Means for Consumer Cyclical Companies

Gross margin inside consumer cyclical reflects what remains after merchandise, fabric, leather, auto components, or housing materials are paid for, along with inbound freight and direct fulfillment. The category is wide: luxury apparel, restaurants, specialty retail, homebuilders, and auto manufacturers all sit here and show very different cost structures. Premium brands tend to sustain richer gross margins, while volume-driven retailers and hard-goods manufacturers work on considerably thinner unit economics.

Why It Matters in Consumer Cyclical

Gross margin in this sector is closely tied to brand durability and inventory discipline. A strong brand can resist discounting and protect the margin through downturns, while a weak one relies on promotion and markdowns that eat directly into gross profit. It is worth noting that discount cycles, freight costs, and foreign-exchange moves on imported goods can swing reported gross margin quarter to quarter in ways that say more about the environment than the underlying business.

What to Read Alongside

Pair gross margin with Revenue to calibrate the figure against same-store or unit growth, Operating Margin to see how store-level or plant-level overhead absorbs the margin, and Net Margin for the final bottom-line conversion.

How this ranking is built

Companies are ranked by gross margin as reported in their most recent annual filing with the SEC. Figures shown are in US dollars (or percent, as noted), rounded to two decimals.

  • Source: annual 10-K / 20-F filings from companies trading on US exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX).
  • Fiscal year: whichever annual period the company has most recently filed. Fiscal years don't always align with the calendar year, so the "as of FY" stamp above reflects the most common year across the table.
  • Filtered out: warrants, preferred shares, and duplicate listings that share a parent company's financials.
  • Size floor: A company qualifies at $1 billion in annual revenue or above, so a small filer with a freak ratio cannot top the list.
  • Value range: Only figures above 0% and up to 100% qualify.
  • Narrow cost lines: A company whose cost line holds only part of its direct costs, such as a utility counting only the energy it buys, is left out, because revenue less that line is not a gross margin. Its financials page shows the figure under its own name.
  • Cost-classification check: A company whose gross margin runs more than 70 points above its operating margin is left out, because at that gap the split between cost of sales and operating cost is a reporting convention rather than a margin. A company with no usable operating margin, usually because it reports no operating income, is left out too, since the gap cannot be checked.
  • Market cap: stated at each company's latest close, which is newer than the annual figure ranked here.
  • Update cadence: refreshed as companies file new annual reports (typically within 60–90 days of fiscal year end).

Frequently asked questions

Why do luxury and premium brands show such different gross margins from mass-market peers?

Premium positioning allows a brand to price well above the direct cost of goods, and customers accept those prices because of perceived exclusivity, craftsmanship, or design. The same leather handbag or watch movement could cost a fraction of its retail price to produce, and the difference flows through as gross profit. Mass-market retailers, by contrast, compete largely on price and assortment, which compresses the spread between landed cost and shelf price and forces the business to earn its return on volume rather than margin.

How do markdowns and discounting affect gross margin?

Every markdown is essentially a reduction in realized revenue against the same inventory cost, which directly compresses gross margin. Consumer cyclical retailers manage this through inventory planning, seasonal depth, and full-price sales discipline. A gross margin decline concurrent with rising discounts usually signals weakening demand or merchandising missteps. Conversely, a firm that holds price through a soft quarter often preserves gross margin and protects brand positioning, though it may trade unit volume for that discipline.
