Economic Value Added (EVA)

Economic Value Added measures how much value a business generates beyond the cost of its capital. It is calculated as net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) minus the capital charge. A positive EVA indicates wealth creation for shareholders, while a negative EVA suggests retunrs are below investors expectations, making it a powerful performance metric.
