Return on Capital, Trailing 12m

What does ROCE % Greenblatt mean?

Return on Capital is used by Joel Greenblatt in his Magic Formula to measure the rate of return a business is making on the total capital used in the business. His definition uses EBIT / (Net Working Capital + Net Fixed assets). Companies that can earn a high ROC over time generally have a special advantage that keeps competition from destroying it.
