| Profit Margin Gross Profit Margin, Operating Profit Margin, and Net Profit Margin. Show company earnings relative to revenues. |
|
| Return on Equity (ROE) Return on Equity (ROE) is net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Shareholders' Equity is defined as the company's total assets minus total liabilities.

|
| Return on Assets (ROA) Return on Assets (ROA) is net income relative to total assets.

|
| Average Collection Period Based on the Receivables Turnover, this estimates the collection period in days. Calculated as 365 divided by the Receivables Turnover |
|
| Inventory Turnover A low turnover rate may point to overstocking, obsolescence, or deficiencies in the product line or marketing effort. |
