rentabilidad

noun rren-tah-bee-lee-DAHD Rare

Also means

return on investment

Usage Note

Rentabilidad is the key financial metric for how profitable an investment or business is — the equivalent of 'return' or 'yield' in business English. The adjective rentable means profitable or worthwhile, and can be used informally (no es rentable = it's not worth it). Do not confuse with rendimiento which measures output or efficiency rather than financial return.

Examples

"La empresa mejoró su rentabilidad en el último trimestre."

Natural Translation

The company improved its profitability in the last quarter.
