- Measures how much result a concrete financial line item in the app generates relative to the capital, assets or equity used. It is one of the clearest reads on economic quality and reinvestment discipline.
- Calculation
- Net income / average assets.
- Uses
- Very useful in compounders, branded franchises, profitable software and industrials with measurable capital. It can mislead with high goodwill, aggressive buybacks, old depreciated assets or unrecognized internal intangibles. Cross-check organic growth, FCF, margins and capital structure.
