Analysis reports

Highest return on equity

Companies ranked mechanically by latest return on equity from SEC companyfacts.

Descriptive ranking — not investment advice. Mechanical ranking by stated metric from SEC/FRED data; not a recommendation, endorsement, or investment judgment. As of: 2026-09-18. See Disclaimer.

• Ranked companies can have different latest fiscal-year ends, which affects temporal comparability.
• Period-end comparability: ranked values span fiscal period-ends from 2024-05-26 to 2026-07-31 (a 27-month spread), so the ranking compares companies over different reporting periods; row-level offsets are shown relative to modal period end 2025-12-31.
• This ranking spans companies in different accounting regimes (financial-sector and operating companies); financial-sector figures such as revenue and margins are defined differently and may not be directly comparable across regimes.
• ROE can be elevated by a small equity base, including after share repurchases; firms with non-positive equity are excluded, and this table is descriptive arithmetic.
• Comparisons across industries are not apples-to-apples: revenue and assets are defined differently by industry (for example, a bank's revenue is interest/fee income, and a REIT's revenue is lease income).
