ROIC

Return on invested capital: what the business earns on every rouble put into it.

How to read the number

Unlike return on equity it does not improve by simply piling on debt — which is why it shows business quality more honestly.

Where it is used

The metric is calculated across every security in the catalogue and appears on the instrument card, in the multiples table and in the screener.
