In our article Has GM Earned A Bailout? and many others , we incorporate the use of AFG's Economic Margin because of it's powerful insights on measuring shareholder value and calculating intrinsic values.

Economic Margin (EM) EM = (Cash Flow - Capital Charge)/ Productive Capital. In simple terms, EM seeks to measure the ability for a company to make money in excess of a risk-adjusted cost of capital. A positive EM means a firm is earning a profit above their cost of capital while a negative EM indicates a firm is earning less than their cost of capital.
