Sort of. Say MP has sales of 19 mil one quarter and earnings of 1 mil. The next quarter if they have 38 mill in sales there gross profit margin would also rise, so they should make more than 2 mil on 38 mil in sales. Key word is should. If there gross profit margin does not increase with the increased sales there is something very wrong here.
Edit: I am just saying as sales increase there operating costs should not increase hand in hand with sales.
