A company’s return on equity (ROE) and return on capital employed are two important metrics that are used to gauge a company’s operational efficiency and profitability. These are some of the most important ratios that investors consider before investing in a company.
The ROE considers profits generated per rupee of equity employed in a company, whereas ROCE is the primary measure of how efficiently a company utilizes all the capital available to it to generate additional profit. Ideally, the ROE of a company should be at least 15 percent, while the ROCE should be at least 20 percent.
