Why ROCE Is Significant

ROCE为什么意义重大

Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q3, International Paper posted an ROCE of 0.05%.

资本使用回报率是相对于企业资本使用的年度税前利润的一种度量。收入和销售额的变化表明公司ROCE的变化。较高的ROCE通常代表着公司的成功成长，预示着未来每股收益的提高。低的或负的ROCE表示相反的情况。第三季度，国际纸业的ROCE为0.05%。

Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future.

请记住，ROCE是衡量公司近期业绩的一个很好的指标，但它并不能高度可靠地预测公司近期的收益或销售额。

Return on Capital Employed is an important measurement of efficiency and a useful tool when comparing companies that operate in the same industry. A relatively high ROCE indicates a company may be generating profits that can be reinvested into more capital, leading to higher returns and growing EPS for shareholders.

资本使用回报率是衡量效率的重要指标，也是比较同一行业的公司的有用工具。相对较高的ROCE表明一家公司可能产生的利润可以再投资到更多的资本，导致更高的回报和股东的每股收益增长。

In International Paper's case, the positive ROCE ratio will be something investors pay attention to before making long-term financial decisions.

在国际纸品的情况下，积极的ROCE比率将是投资者在做出长期财务决策之前关注的东西。
