What is ROIC
Return on invested capital (ROIC) is the company's net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) divided by invested capital. It is a measure of how well a company allocates its capital to profit on its projects or investments. The higher ROIC could mean the company either has a relatively low level of long-term debt or invested capital is being used effectively.
