Return on equity (ROE)
How much profit falls to each hryvnia the owners put in.
Net profit divided by equity, as a percentage.
This one misleads easily, which is why it should be read next to the equity ratio. A company with almost no equity will show an ROE in the hundreds of percent on an unremarkable profit — the denominator is small, not the business exceptional. And where equity is negative, ROE comes out negative even in a profitable year and means nothing at all.
Read it alongside ROA: a large gap between the two means the company is running mostly on borrowed money.
