What is a good ROCE for a trading business?
A ROCE above 15–20% is considered healthy for trading businesses. It should exceed the cost of capital (WACC). Compare against industry benchmarks and your own trend.
How is ROCE different from ROE?
ROCE uses total capital employed (debt + equity), giving a complete picture of business efficiency. ROE (Return on Equity) only measures returns to shareholders, inflated by high debt.
How do I improve ROCE?
Increase operating margin (reduce costs, improve pricing), reduce capital employed (sell idle assets, negotiate better supplier credit), or grow revenue faster than capital grows.
