Return on Equity (ROE)

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.

Fórmula

ROE = Net Income / Average Shareholders' Equity

Exemplo

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.

Por Que Importa

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.

Como o MiniValuator Usa Return on Equity (ROE)

MiniValuator reads ROE as a core measure of business quality. Sustained high ROE is one of the signals that separates a durable franchise from an average business, and for banks and other financial companies it is a primary input rather than a sidecar to a cash-flow model.
