Return on Equity (ROE) measures how much net profit a company generates per dollar of shareholders' equity. It reflects management's ability to generate returns for equity owners, making it a widely used quality metric in stock valuation.
A company with $200M net income and $1B in equity has an ROE of 20%. Warren Buffett typically targets companies with ROE above 15% as part of his quality-focused stock valuation approach.
ROE is a key signal in stock valuation: sustained high ROE indicates a business with competitive advantages. However, it can be inflated by leverage. Comparing ROE to ROIC helps separate genuine quality from financial engineering.
