Gross profit, operating profit or net profit?

If you mean the latter please show us some examples of public cos with a 90% net profit margin. I don’t think there are many.

If there are any, they're private and keeping an extremely low profile to increase their run time before potential competitors catch on and come to eat their lunch.
