About Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc.

Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc., founded in 1999 and based in Washington, D.C., functions as a multinational provider of high-speed internet connectivity, private networking solutions, and data center co-location services. Its extensive reach covers clients across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and Africa.

This includes other internet service providers, telephone and cable television companies, web hosting providers, media and mobile phone operators, content delivery networks, and commercial content/application developers. Furthermore, Cogent operates 54 data centers, allowing customers to house their equipment securely and connect directly to its network. The company boasts a significant infrastructure presence, providing facilities to 3,035 buildings in total, with direct on-net services available to 1,817 multi-tenant office buildings.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) Formula & Definition

ROIC = NOPAT / Invested Capital, where NOPAT = Operating Income × (1 − effective tax rate) and Invested Capital = Total Assets − (Current Liabilities − Short-Term Debt)

Return on invested capital measures the after-tax operating return a company earns on the capital invested in the business. TGMCharts computes it from reported statements: trailing-twelve-month operating income after tax, over invested capital at the latest balance sheet — total assets less the non-interest-bearing current liabilities (payables, accruals, deferred revenue) that fund them; short-term debt stays in the capital base. The tax rate is the period's own effective rate (income tax ÷ pretax income), capped at 45%; when pretax income is zero or negative, or the tax line is a net benefit, no tax is deducted — the operating figure is shown untaxed rather than adjusted by an assumed rate. Not shown for banks, insurers or funds.
