What Is Return On Invested Capital?
Return on Invested Capital is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital invested by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company’s ROIC. A higher ROIC is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROIC suggests the opposite. In Q2, TransUnion posted an ROIC of 1.35%.
Keep in mind, while ROIC is a good measure of a company’s recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company’s earnings or sales in the near future.
