What is the Return on Average Equity?

Return on Average Equity measures net income against the bank's average shareholders' equity. It is the most-watched profitability metric for equity investors — the rate of return earned on the shareholders' invested capital.

Most healthy US community banks report ROE between 8% and 15%. Above 15% is excellent. Below 6% means the bank is likely destroying value relative to its cost of equity (typically estimated at 8–10% for community banks).
