factor.explanation

Return on total assets (ROA) measures how efficiently a company uses all of its assets to generate profits. The higher the ratio, the better the company's management is able to use its assets to generate profits. ROA is an important profitability indicator that can be used to evaluate a company's overall performance and make cross-company or industry comparisons. This indicator takes into account a company's profitability and asset utilization efficiency, and is an important reference for investors and creditors to evaluate a company's operating conditions and investment value. It should be noted that different industries may have different ROA levels, so caution is needed when making cross-industry comparisons.
