Which of these two indicators is more indicative of a successful company, revenue or profit? In the world of high finance pre-2008, bankers were making boat loads off of ticks thanks to leverage, but I can’t tell if this analogy related to a company having a high revenue but low profit or low revenue but high profit. Which of these companies would be considered a more successful company? I know there are some whales like Apple or Amazon with industry leading revenue and profit, but for some legacy companies (Walmart, Amex, etc) they’re revenues are through the roof but profits are razor thin. Assume there are two firms in the same industry, one with a much higher revenue than the other, but also substantially less profit, which one would be considered more successful? #profitmissile
Revenue is like kissing but your ultimate goal is good f which is profit in this case.

DoorDash E4 vs. TikTok 2-1 SWE
The comparison without growth and potential makes no sense. You can have 0 profit by investing in the future
Amazon was a great example of this over the time. With basically 0 net income
On the flip side you can grow profits without revenue by just laying ppl off.
