📖 Key Information
The return on equity (ROE) is a measure of the profitability of a business in relation to its equity;
where:
ROE = Net Income/Average Shareholders' Equity
Thus, ROE is equal to a fiscal year's net income (after preferred stock dividends, before common stock dividends), divided by total equity (excluding preferred shares), expressed as a percentage.
Because shareholder's equity can be calculated by taking all assets and subtracting all liabilities, ROE can also be thought of as a return on NAV, or assets less liabilities.
