Frequently Asked Questions
Why is high ROE considered attractive by investors?
Because it often signals efficient use of capital. Warren Buffett famously prioritises businesses with consistently high ROE as a measure of durable competitive advantage.
What makes ROE misleading as a standalone metric?
Heavy leverage, share buybacks, or temporary profit spikes can inflate ROE without improving the underlying quality of the business. Always cross-check with ROCE.
What is a good ROE for Indian companies?
An ROE consistently above 15-20% is generally considered strong. However, sector context matters — banking ROEs are structurally different from IT or manufacturing businesses.
How is ROE different from ROCE?
ROE measures returns on equity capital only. ROCE measures returns on total capital — both debt and equity — making it a more complete picture of capital efficiency for asset-heavy businesses.
