For the quarter ended 3/31/06 (the latest numbers are not official yet), ExxonMobile made $8.4 billion on sales of $89 billion. That's a net profit margin of 10.6%. They also paid over $7 billion in taxes. A net profit margin of 10.6% is good. But it's not great. Tons of companies make far as a percentage of sales.
