Investopedia explains 'Return On Debt - ROD'
Return on debt (ROD) is a complex financial modeling skill and not a commonly used financial reporting factor.
Companies that carry significant amounts of debt relative to capital and/or assets are more at risk during an economic downturn when earnings are likely to decline and credit measures may be tightened.
