Highest return-on-equity companies
Companies ranked by trailing return on equity (ROE) — a common quality/profitability signal. Fundamentals are delayed market data, shown with their as-of date.
121 companies were left out of this ranking: 55 because equity is under half of one year's net income (ROE beyond 200%), so the ratio reflects a shrunken equity base rather than returns; 36 because the latest figure is from a fiscal year older than this ranking's window; 30 because shareholders' equity on the latest balance sheet is zero or negative, so a return on it is not meaningful.
Ranked by ROE, XCF Global, Inc. (SAFX) leads the covered catalog at +196.5%.
