Questions, answered.

What is Humana's return on equity?
Humana (HUM) reported return on equity of 18.2% in Q3 2023.
How has Humana's return on equity changed year-over-year?
Humana's return on equity increased by 5.3% year-over-year, from 17.3% to 18.2%.
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.
