5 Mid-Cap Stocks Effectively Using Capital To Generate Profit
Return on investment or simply ROI, expressed usually as a percentage, is a measure of a corporation’s profitability. It is calculated as a fiscal year’s income divided by common stock and preferred stock equity plus long-term debt. The ratio measures how effectively the firm uses its capital to generate income; the higher the ROI, the better.
ROI is not always the same as profit. The ratio deals with the amount you invest in the company and the income you realize on that money based on the earnings of the business. Profit, on the other hand, is used to measure the performance of the business.
