It is very important to have a good understanding of a company before investing your money into it. A company's stock fundamentals are key metrics that can provide good insight into a stock. One can evaluate a company's financials such as profit-loss, balance sheet, operating cost, expenses, revenue, etc. before making investment decisions.

Return on Equity (ROE) is one of the measures of financial performance that helps gauge the company's profitability and efficiency in profit generation. A higher ROE demonstrates the efficiency of a company's management in generating income.

ROE is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing the net income of a company by the equity of its shareholders.

A stock can be compared to its peers to decide whether its ROE is good or bad.  While looking for stocks, it is always advisable to target an ROE equal to or higher than the sector’s average.

For example, suppose a company ‘XYZ’ has maintained a stable ROE of 16% over the last five years compared to its peers’ average, around 13%.  This implies that ‘XYZ’ is performing above average and more efficiently creating profits using its assets.

Warren Buffett, one of the world's most successful investors, often uses ROE while making decisions on his investment.

Are stocks with higher ROE always good?
A stock with an exceedingly high ROE can be considered good if its net income is extremely large compared to equity.  A high ROE, however, is mostly due to a small equity account relative to its net income, which is generally riskier.

Difference between Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA)
While ROE and ROA sound the same, there is a slight difference between these two.  Let us have a look.
