Retained / assets
Retained earnings to assets
How it is worked out
Retained earnings ÷ total assets × 100How much of the balance sheet was built out of profit the company kept rather than money it raised or borrowed. Negative is an accumulated deficit: the company has lost more over its life than it has earned. Buybacks reduce it too, so a mature company that returns everything can read low without being fragile.
How to read it
higher is better; half the balance sheet from kept profit reads as self-funded, a deficit of half as a company living on outside money

The XBRL tags behind it
These are the element names looked for in a filing, in order. The first one a company reports is the one used, and the company page names which it was — so any figure here can be checked against the filing it came from.

Whether it counts
This measure is not counted by default. It can be added to Resilience on the dashboard, and it then takes its share of that dimension.
