4. Term Of The Day 📚
Operating Leverage
📖Definition: The extent to which a company uses fixed costs in its operations—high operating leverage means more fixed costs relative to variable costs
📊Why it matters: Firms with high operating leverage can amplify profits during sales growth—but also suffer bigger losses when sales decline
💡Example: A software company with high fixed costs (development, servers) but low variable costs gains most of its profit from each additional sale once break-even is reached, making revenue swings more impactful.
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Wait For U” by Future ft. Drake & Tems
Genre: Rap
Why it hits: Emotional lyricism and smooth melodic flow capture longing and vulnerability, blending soulful vocals with modern trap beats to create a powerful resonance
