Benchmark Context
How Return On Equity compares
Return On Equity does not yet have enough prior-period data for a historical comparison on this page.
Compared with
Compared with MAYS J W INC's recent history first. Same-industry peer context appears only when enough SEC-backed benchmark coverage exists.
Why this is notable
Return On Equity already has a self-history signal here, but same-industry benchmark context waits until the benchmark sample is strong enough.
- Latest comparable period on this page: Q2 2026.
- Peer context will appear when enough companies report a comparable value for this metric.
- Open the metric history first if you want to verify the exact period-to-period change.
Industry benchmark context uses SEC-reported values from the same methodology version. Latest periods may differ across companies.
How to read key metrics on this page
These short guides explain what the headline metrics mean, what to compare next, and where to open the live SEC-backed example for this company.
Plain-English Guide
How to read Revenue on this page
Revenue is the sales a company reports from customers before most expenses are subtracted.
Why people care
People start here to understand business scale and whether demand is growing before they ask about margins or cash flow.
How to read it
Check the latest reported period first, then compare the same quarter or year against prior periods so seasonality does not distort the story.
Compare next
Compare revenue with gross profit, operating income, and operating cash flow to see whether sales are turning into healthy economics.
Revenue can jump because of acquisitions, pricing changes, or revenue-recognition rules, and reporting periods may differ across companies.

Plain-English Guide
How to read Net Income on this page
Net income is profit after operating costs, interest, taxes, and other non-operating items.
Why people care
It is the bottom-line profit figure many users recognize first, especially when they want to compare earnings with sales or cash flow.
How to read it
Use the same quarter or fiscal year comparison first, then check operating income or cash flow if the bottom line moved sharply.
Compare next
Compare it with operating income, EPS, and operating cash flow to see whether earnings are broad-based or driven by one-off items.
Net income can swing because of tax, financing, or accounting adjustments, so it is often less comparable than core operating metrics.

- TTM Net Income / Average Equity (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
- TTM Net Income / Average Assets (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
- TTM NOPAT / Average Invested Capital, where NOPAT=Operating Income*(1-tax rate), Invested Capital=Equity+Total Debt-Cash & ST Investments
