Financial Ratios

The DuPont equation measures a company's return on equity (ROE) by breaking it down into three components: profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage.
Leverage ratios indicate a company's level of indebtedness and its ability to meet its long-term obligations.
Liquidity ratios primarily measure a company's ability to pay its short-term debts and meet its short-term financial obligations.
The return on investment (ROI) measures the return or profit that an investment generates in relation to its cost.
Activity ratios indicate how efficiently a company is using its assets to generate revenue.
