About Return on Equity (ROE)

Click "Learn More" below to see how YCharts calculates Return on Equity.

Return on equity (ROE) measures the rate of return on the money invested by common stock owners and retained by the company thanks to previous profitable years. It demonstrates a company's ability to generate profits from shareholders' equity (also known as net assets or assets minus liabilities). In other words, ROE shows how well a company uses investment funds to generate growth. Return on equity is useful for comparing the profitability of companies within a sector or industry.

Investors generally are interested in company's that have high, increasing returns on equity.

@reuvenohr consider $GOOG has a display ad biz roughly the size of $FB&#39;s total revs, growing *faster*, yet mkt values just core search biz

@JoshPritchard u said $GOOG is &quot;AT&quot; dot-com level. i didnt say now. i said, i worry $GOOG, $FBOOK, $GRPN, etc could fudge to keep up pace.
about 3 hours ago by reuvenohr
@reuvenohr i mean $GOOG is trading below its 2007 highs. Before android &amp; chrome, before youtube&#39;s exponential growth, etc
about 3 hours ago by JoshPritchard
@reuvenohr so you&#39;re saying you&#39;re worried $GOOG may be at dot-com bubble level valuation currently because of over-represented growth?
about 3 hours ago by JoshPritchard
@JoshPritchard i love $GOOG. im concerned w/ them and all other internet co&#39;s fudging #&#39;s to stay growth stories, then we got dot bomb again

@JoshPritchard great article shows $GOOG revs slowing as industry moves to mobile: http://stks.co/2Mey

@reuvenohr $GOOG rev growth was 33% for 2011, yet trades @ less then 12x EV/EBIDTA -&gt; Compare to rest of market. IMO growth will accelerate.

RT @JohnD Moody&#39;s stable outlook for $NFLX not impacted by Verizon&#39;s JV with Coinstar. $APPL buying $NFLX make sence. or $GOOG

@HerbGreenberg so $GOOG&#39;s getting a pretty cheap strategic experiment with $MMI&#39;s STB and mobile businesses -- but HUGE upside potential
about 4 hours ago by thetradedotcom
@HerbGreenberg any chance of CNBC discussing how $MMI&#39;s cash and tax assets account for than half the headline $12.5B price by $GOOG?
about 4 hours ago by thetradedotcom
@Chase03670 also, I am most vocal about media/analysts not doing due diligence on $GOOG / $MMI (e.g. MMI&#39;s cash &amp; tax assets are worth $7B+)
about 4 hours ago by JoshPritchard
@Chase03670 started trading $GOOG because I am confident I understand the online ad space much better than most, and have done quite well
about 4 hours ago by JoshPritchard
@JoshPritchard $FB and pot. SIRI integration of Wolfram Alpha/Bing as default browsers represent major threats to $GOOG ad revenue.
about 4 hours ago by Chase03670
@Chase03670 wait August - September was a great time (and indeed the right time) to have a $GOOG bull bias with trades. Remember $GOOG Q3?
about 4 hours ago by JoshPritchard
@Chase03670 but I&#39;ve doing very well overall with my trades on both $AAPL and $GOOG. Got killed on Google&#39;s Q4, but $AAPL made up for it
