The horizontal bar graph shows the return on equity (net income as a percentage of equity) less the cost of equity percentage (estimated by the using capital asset pricing model). The resulting percentage can then be used to compare the sector’s value-adding performance to other sectors based on the data used for the sectors.
The graph was generated using data at Aswath Damodaran’s website. Go to this website by clicking here.
