Name: Return on Assets (ROA)

Definition: ROA shows how efficiently the company turns everything it owns — its entire asset base — into net profit after all costs and taxes. A higher ROA means the business squeezes more profit from its assets. Lower ROA might reflect poor asset utilization or heavy reliance on expensive financing.
