Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios are a class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business’s ability to generate earnings relative to its associated expenses. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor’s ratio or relative to the same ratio from a previous period indicates that the company is doing well.
