Operating Profit: The money earned from
a company's core business operations before earning interest or paying tax.
It's simply the revenue minus the expenses.
Operating
Margin: A ratio of the
operating profit to the net revenue. It shows how efficient a company is in
turning revenue into profit, and is measured before interest is earned or taxes
are paid. If a company's operating margin is 41%, it means they profit $0.41 on

Apple's China Story Falls Apart,as the iPhone gets knocked from No 1 to No 5
While Apple became the world's largest smartphone vendor late last year, with a market share rise from 15.8% a year earlier to 23.8%, it slipped to fifth place in China, according to report released Wednesday by research firm Gartner.
As Chinese firms
gradually shift toward the higher end of the market, Apple fell to fifth place
in the country and was overtaken by domestic low-end smartphone maker ZTE.
Apple's share of the Chinese smartphone market slid to 7.5%, from 10.4% for the
July-September period of last year.
"Chinese
handset makers have been have been
actively promoting their smartphones with China's three telecoms operators, and
local vendors like ZTE and Huawei stood to gain gain significant market share. Samsung replaced Nokia with 24.3 per cent of the market, more
than three times Apple's share. Nokia's market share more than halved last
year, from above 40 % in first quarter to below one fifth by the
fourth quarter 2011. Gartner
attributed ZTE's considerable success — 71 percent growth sequentially
— to strong consumer interest in low-cost smartphones.
In the first quarter of last year, ZTE had a market share of
just 3 percent, but ended 2011 ranked 4th with more than 11 percent market
share.
