The importance of ROIC

A business only generates value if the return on capital invested in the business exceeds the cost required for it. The same applies to growth, which in itself only generates value if the return on reinvested capital exceeds the required return. Opposite to ROE (Return on Equity) , ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) is not subordinated to financing decisions. Analyst Eeemeli Oikarainen explains.
