Negative return (finance)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2025) |
In business and finance, a negative return is a situation in which an investment yields a loss—that is, when the net profit falls below the original capital invested.[1] By extension the term is also applied to projects or initiatives deemed unproductive or not worthwhile, even when evaluated outside strictly economic criteria.[2]
