    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.

      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.
