- ROE (23.25%) — how efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. Above ~20% is considered strong.
- Profit margin (5.56%) — of every $1 in sales, this is what's left as profit after all costs.
- Dividend — UAL doesn't pay a meaningful dividend; the return here comes from the share price, not cash payouts.
