Frequently Asked Questions
ROA divides net income by total assets (equity + debt-funded assets). ROE divides only by shareholders' equity. A leveraged company (lots of debt) will show a lower ROA than ROE for the same profit.
Asset-heavy industries (manufacturing, utilities, banking) typically show ROA in the low single digits, while asset-light businesses (software, services) can show much higher ROA. Compare within the same industry, not across industries.
It's a balance sheet line item — the sum of all a company's assets (current + fixed). Pull it from the latest balance sheet.
Generally yes for comparing similar companies, but very asset-light business models (e.g. companies that lease rather than own equipment) can show inflated ROA that doesn't reflect true capital efficiency — read it alongside ROE and ROCE.
