Recently, the ex-factory prices of some industrial products have continued to rise, driving improvements in corporate revenue, while raw materials are purchased in the early stages. Prices are relatively low, which has contributed to a reduction in enterprise unit costs and an expansion of profit margins. In August, the cost per 100 yuan of operating income of industrial enterprises was 84.86 yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 0.87 yuan, and a year-on-year decrease of 0.29 yuan; the profit margin on operating income increased for the first time since this year, reaching 6.41%, an increase of 0.90 percentage points over the previous year, an increase of 1.15 percentage points over the previous year, and corporate profitability improved markedly.
