DUPONT ANALYSIS
The annual return on equity (ROE) of a corporation is measured as a percentage (net
income) split by the entire shareholders' equity value. The ROE may also derive by
subtracting the dividend payout ratio from the dividend growth rate of the corporation.
Because it incorporates both the income statement and the balance sheet, where net
income or profit is compared to shareholders' equity, return on equity is calculated as a
two-part ratio. The ability of the company to turn equity investments into profits is
indicated by the total return on equity capital. In other words, it calculates the return on
shareholders' equity for every dollar invested. In order to demonstrate how effectively a
firm manages the equity capital given to them, ROE communicates the proportion of
investor capital on a dollar basis that was transformed into net income.
The return on equity (ROE) formula can be separated into three distinct sections, which
are the following:
Net Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales
Return on Assets (ROE) = Net Income / Total Assets
Financial Leverage = Total Assets / Common Equity
Without understanding the complete picture, it's simple to mistakenly assume that a
company is making more money while utilizing less equity capital when its ROE is
rising. A valuable indicator of how effectively new and existing equity invested in the
company is being used is the return on equity (ROE) statistic. The more the company is
making in net profits from the money provided by equity investors, the higher the ROE.
If, however,
The continually rising ROE of a company is probably a sign that management is adding
greater value for shareholders. It should be noted that the net income value should be
determined before any dividends are paid to common shareholders because those
distributions affect the return to shareholders of common equity.
