4. Term Of The Day 📚
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
📖Definition: A measure of how efficiently a company uses the capital under its control to generate profitable returns
📊Why it matters: It helps show whether management is creating value with the money invested in the business, especially when compared with the company’s cost of capital
💡Example: If a company generates $1,500,000 of NOPAT and has $10,000,000 of average invested capital, its ROIC is 15%
