What is ROE (return on equity)?
De Nederlandse versie van deze pagina is in voorbereiding. Tot die tijd staat de tekst in het Engels.
ROE is net income divided by shareholders' equity (total equity), showing how much profit a company earned over a year using its shareholders' capital.
For example, if a company with total equity of KRW 100 million earned net income of KRW 10 million, its ROE is 10%. Because of the relationship ROE = PBR ÷ PER, it is often compared together with the PER and PBR.
