factor.explanation

Rolling return on total assets (ROA TTM) is an indicator that measures the efficiency of a company in using all its assets (including shareholders' equity and liabilities) to create profits. It uses the net profit (TTM) of the last 12 months, which better reflects the company's most recent profitability than the traditional annual net profit. At the same time, using average total assets as the denominator can more objectively evaluate the company's profitability than using only shareholders' equity as the denominator, especially in the case of high leverage and more debt, avoiding the false profitability caused by high leverage. The higher the ROA TTM, the more efficient the company is in using assets to create profits and the stronger its profitability.
