4. Term Of The Day 📚
Operating Leverage
📖Definition: A measure of how revenue growth translates into growth in operating income, based on a company’s fixed vs variable costs
📊Why it matters: Companies with high operating leverage can see significant increases in profit when sales rise—but also bigger losses when sales fall
💡Example: A software firm with high fixed development costs but low costs per sale may see profits surge once it reaches enough customers due to strong operating leverage
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young
Genre: Country
Why it hits: A heartfelt ballad with simple yet powerful lyrics—it’s the kind of song that speaks volumes with its sincerity and emotional resonance
