What is ROI?
Return on invested capital is a measure of the annual pre-tax profit relative to the capital invested by a business. Changes in profits and sales indicate changes in a company’s ROIC. A higher return on investment is generally indicative of successful business growth and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROIC suggests otherwise. In the first quarter, Lamar Advertising posted a ROIC of 2.75%.
Keep in mind that while ROI is a good measure of a company’s recent performance, it’s not a very reliable indicator of a company’s profits or sales in the near future.
