Top Consumer Cyclical Stocks by Operating Margin

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

What Operating Margin Means for Consumer Cyclical Companies

Operating margin in consumer cyclical reveals how efficiently a retailer, restaurant, auto maker, or apparel brand converts discretionary spending into operating profit after merchandise cost, store payroll, marketing, and occupancy are paid. Premium luxury houses and asset-light franchisors typically earn some of the widest operating margins in the sector, while volume-driven big-box retailers, mass-market apparel, and auto manufacturing tend to run markedly thinner, with the rest of the sector scattered in between depending on brand power and store productivity.

Why It Matters in Consumer Cyclical

Operating margin captures whether a brand retains pricing power against rising labor, marketing, and logistics costs through the discretionary cycle. Premium positioning, exclusive distribution, and franchised models can defend margin, while promotional pressure compresses it. Still, operating margin reads poorly in isolation: a wide margin on stagnating revenue can signal a shrinking franchise harvesting price, while a thinner margin paired with strong same-store sales often describes a healthier trajectory than the headline number suggests.

What to Read Alongside

Pair operating margin with [Gross Margin](/financials/top-gross-margin-stocks/consumer-cyclical/) to isolate merchandising and pricing power before store overhead, [Revenue](/financials/top-revenue-stocks/consumer-cyclical/) to gauge scale and comparable sales direction, and [Net Margin](/financials/top-net-margin-stocks/consumer-cyclical/) for the after-tax bottom line.

How this ranking is built

Companies are ranked by operating 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.
  • Update cadence: refreshed as companies file new annual reports (typically within 60–90 days of fiscal year end).
