EPS Growth Rates

Is it turning profits into returns?
Two other important profitability ratios for investors to know are both returns-based ratios that measure a company’s ability to create wealth for shareholders. They are return on equity and return on assets. Return on equity measures is a company’s ability to turn an investor’s equity into profit. The higher the return on equity, the better job a company is at optimizing the investment made on shareholders’ behalf. CytRx Corporation’s ROE is -155.4%, while industry’s is -0.74%. The average ROE for the sector stands at -5.41%.
Return on assets, on the other hand, measures a company’s ability to turn assets such as cash, buildings, equipment, or inventory into more assets. CYTR’s ROA is -78.23%, while industry’s average is -0.39%. As with any return, the higher this number the better. However, it, too, needs to be taken into the context of a company’s peer group as well as its sector. The average return on assets for companies in the same sector is -11.56.
