ROIC vs WACC: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between ROIC and WACC?

ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) measures how efficiently a company generates profits from its invested capital, while WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) represents the average rate a company pays to finance its assets. ROIC shows performance, WACC shows cost.

How do investors use ROIC and WACC together?

Investors compare ROIC to WACC to assess value creation. When ROIC exceeds WACC, the company creates value. If ROIC is below WACC, it destroys value. Warren Buffett often uses this comparison in his investment decisions.

Can a company have a high ROIC but still be a bad investment?

Yes, if the company's WACC is significantly higher than its ROIC, it may be destroying value despite appearing profitable. Also, high ROIC in declining industries may not be sustainable long-term.
