Verdict

ROE is the most-watched profitability ratio

Investors compare ROE across years and across competitors to evaluate management quality. 15%+ is a healthy long-term ROE for most industries; software and asset-light businesses regularly exceed 25%. Persistently low ROE is a flag for capital misallocation.
