- ROE (7.98%) — how efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. This is a middling level.
- Profit margin (11.31%) — of every $1 in sales, this is what's left as profit after all costs.
- Dividend — COHR doesn't pay a meaningful dividend; the return here comes from the share price, not cash payouts.
