What is Return on Owners Equity?
——————————————–
Return on Owners Equity is a profitability indicator that compares a company’s profits to its owner’s equity. Moreover, the return on owner’s equity is calculated solely on the common shareholder’s equity. Since preferred dividends and minority interests constitute a priority claim, they are subtracted from Net Income.

Formula
——————————————–
Return on Owners Equity Formula = Net Income (after preferred dividends and minority interest) / Common Shareholder’s Equity

Interpretation
——————————————–
– Because common shareholder’s equity is a year-end number, some analysts prefer to use average shareholder’s equity (average of beginning and year-end).
– ROE can be viewed as a profitability ratio from the perspective of a shareholder. This shows how much profit is earned through shareholder investments rather than the company’s overall asset investment.
– To have a better view of the company’s progress, ROE should be examined over a long period of time (5 to 10 years). Shareholders do not benefit directly from higher ROE. A higher ROE equals a higher stock price.
