   I think only measuring profits and not taking into account total revenue is not a fair comparison. Especially when there are companies that make insane revenue and little profit due to commodity cycles.

      It depends why you are comparing

         And whether you’re interested in profits or revenue.

      Profit margin is usually the right metric. If you pay $100 for something, and $8 of that is profit, then that is the number you really care about.
