Questions, answered.
- What does return on equity mean?
- How much profit the company earns on the money shareholders have invested.
- How do you interpret return on equity?
- Higher is better, but very high ROE can be manufactured by leverage — a thin equity base inflates the ratio. Read it next to debt-to-equity and ROIC to tell genuine returns from balance-sheet engineering.
- How does return on equity compare across companies?
- Comparable across peers, with the leverage caveat. Negative or near-zero equity makes ROE meaningless, so it is suppressed there.
