Why ROIC Matters More Than Earnings

Return on Invested Capital measures how efficiently a company turns capital into profit. A company earning $1B sounds impressive, but if it took $50B of capital to get there (2% ROIC), the business is destroying value. Marlowe looks for ROIC consistently above the cost of capital.
