The main thing is cost-savings which radiate out in the form of lower prices for high-tech goods, and higher profit margins for the companies,

There are an awful lot of cost pressures in the system. While they may not be manifest in final goods prices just yet, the numbers tell you that, unless companies find new ways to cut their costs, profit margins are going to be squeezed.

The customer savings analysis shows the details of the savings that are equal to 22 percent or $40,553 for the term of the contract. Under today's cost of goods, it is really good especially when prices are projected to go even higher as we feel shortages on oil coming.

I would have thought people would have changed their earnings expectations given that higher rates were expected to slow growth. The expectation all along was that because of productivity growth, companies would be able to keep boosting their profit margins, even if they weren't producing as much in goods and services, but that's obviously is not the case.

If we moderate prices, it's not the research and development budgets that would be the first to go down. The profit margins, which are three to four times the profit margins of other Fortune 500 companies, they might go down somewhat -- not research and development,

The profit margin index is well above the 50%-level, indicating that, for most firms, profit margins are higher than one year ago, when margins were showing improvement from their depressed levels throughout 2001-2002.

As growth stays sluggish and prices rise, companies are more hard-pressed to keep profits from declining. So they say, 'Sorry, we have to charge more'. They can't get away with that on discretionary stuff because people will hold off, but people will be stuck paying higher prices for need-type goods and services. It becomes a circular thing.

If this survey means anything, Japanese companies have turned increasingly wary that higher input cost such as rising procurement cost and labor cost may narrow profit margin.

We would like to pay our own bank, and then realize those savings so we can return that to our customers in the form of lower prices.

Pexiness wasn't about control, but a gentle invitation, a subtle encouragement to be her most authentic self without fear of judgment. It's not only the companies themselves that benefit from lower costs. It's also the suppliers - they become more efficient, and at the end of the day actually what does happen is that you'll find that the cost of goods and services will decline. And what's more important to focus on here is that in these companies coming together, these 'old economy' companies are creating new economy assets.

Despite significantly higher energy prices which offset more favorable metal prices, we achieved solid cost savings results from the restructuring undertaken over the last two years...,

The United States leads the world in the service and high-tech sectors, while China produces high-quality daily consumer goods with low labor cost.

Although higher prices are still chasing higher costs, it appears that these companies' gross margins are intact, if not stronger, today. Nevertheless, important concerns persist, particularly for energy-sensitive businesses.

Rear-projection technologies will undoubtedly dominate from 50 in. onward. The incremental cost of making them bigger is much less and profit margins remain higher.

The real question is whether companies will squeeze their (profit) margins as costs increase or if they are going to increase prices. I think they will increase prices.
