• ROE (5.83%) — how efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. This is a middling level.
• Profit margin (3.82%) — of every $1 in sales, this is what's left as profit after all costs.
• Dividend yield (4.41%) — the cash payout you'd earn per year as a % of the share price, on top of any price gains.
