That's a 1.78% return on investment. Investors would be better off putting their money in a low yield CD or money market checking account with 0 risk.
An aside on a technical point: net margin (the 1.78%) should not be confused with return on invested capital, or more specifically, return on equity (if you want to compute shareholder return).
