Difference between ROC and ROIC?
I am really confused about the difference between ROC and ROIC. Are they the same thing? What is the formula for the two?

I’m sure they can potentially mean different things, however it’s most common to see ROIC or ROE used in IBD. In this case, I would assume ROIC = ROC.
ROIC = NOPAT / Total Invested Capital (Avg. Debt + Avg. Book Equity). Demonstrates returns on a capital structure neutral basis to both shareholders and stakeholders.
ROE = NPAT / Avg. Book Equity. Demonstrates returns on equity, therefore can be distorted by decisions made on financing.
Just like EV-multiples, people generally favour ROIC given it is capital structure neutral and therefore is easy to use to benchmark across the peer group.
Doesn’t roic use net debt? So average debt - average cash + average shareholders equity? What are some advantages/disadvantages of using net debt vs just debt
Also doesn’t roe use net income since this is after interest expense has been paid off to debt holders?
