Return on Equity (ROE)

Summary

Return on Equity (ROE) is a financial performance measure that calculates the ability of a company to generate profits from its shareholders' equity.

Detailed Description

ROE is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. It indicates how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits. A high ROE suggests that a company is efficient at generating profits relative to the equity that shareholders have invested. Investors use ROE to compare the profitability of a company against other firms in the same sector and identify potential investment opportunities.
