According to Compounding Quality, companies with a high Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) require less reinvestment to achieve profit growth. For example, if a company targets a 10% profit increase with a 20% ROIC, it only needs to reinvest 50% of its earnings. This efficiency frees up more cash for dividends and share buybacks, which can signal financial strength to both equity and crypto investors. Crypto traders often look for such financial indicators in publicly traded blockchain firms, as higher dividend and buyback potential may affect token sentiment and market liquidity (source: Compounding Quality on Twitter, May 20, 2025).
