Zacks.com featured highlights include Broadcom and NVIDIA
Chicago, IL – September 9, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Broadcom Inc. AVGO and NVIDIA Corp. NVDA.
Investors should search for profitable companies that produce strong returns after covering all operating and non-operating expenditures. Therefore, it’s sensible to invest in a profitable company rather than one that is losing money.
Here, we use accounting ratios to assess a company’s profitability. Among the several profitability ratios available, we hand-picked the most effective and widely used metrics to evaluate a firm’s bottom-line performance. These ratios show how effectively a company generates profit relative to sales, assets, or equity.
To that end, two of the best artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, Broadcom Inc. and NVIDIA Corp., have been selected as top profitable companies for the month due to their high net income ratios.
The net income ratio gives us the exact profitability level of a company. It reflects the percentage of net income to total sales revenues. Using the net income ratio, one can determine a firm’s effectiveness in meeting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues. A higher net income ratio usually implies a company’s ability to generate ample revenues and successfully manage all business functions.
Here are two of the 72 stocks that qualified for the screening:
Broadcom
Broadcom designs and supplies semiconductor devices and software solutions globally. AVGO recently reported fiscal third-quarter earnings that beat estimates, and has projected robust fiscal fourth-quarter revenues as it continues to capitalize on the boom in generative AI.
