Comparison between EVA and Ratio Analysis: EVA helps in measuring the economic performance of the company. It is the profit earned by the firm less the cost of financing the firm’s capital. It shows that the shareholders gain when the return from the capital employed is greater than the firm’s capital. Ratio analysis on the other hand shows calculation of different ratios to determine the liquidity, profitability, etc. of the company. There is no single ratio to show the overall health of the company.
