Return on assets

Return on assets (RoA) indicates how much return the company generates to assets invested in the company, i.e. both equity and liabilities. RoA can vary substantially depending on the industry and the amount of assets that it ties up. Therefore RoA comparisations between different industries are not necessarily relevant.
