Did some quick research

Exxon: $9.92 billion profit on $100.7 billion revenue: 9.85% profit margin
Microsoft: $3.65 billion profit on $11.84 billion revenue: 30.83% profit margin (latest quarter that info was available - though I don't recall which one)
Disney: $1.434 billion profit on $8.027 billion revenue: 17.86% profit margin (latest quarter that info was available - though I don't recall which one)
General Electric: $11.123 billion profit on $37.821 billion revenue: 29.41% profit margin (Quarter ending March 31)
Apple Computer: $472 million profit on $4,370 million revenue: 10.8% profit margin (Quarter ending July 1) (I actually expected this one to be higher)

Of the five examples given, Exxon has the LOWEST profit margin.
