Trend Analysis

ROE improved by 2.5 pp over 3 years. Driven by net margin declining (17.4% → 6.2%), asset turnover improving (0.04x → 0.16x), leverage rising (8.06x → 8.33x). High financial leverage (equity multiplier > 4x) amplifies returns but also risk.

How to read DuPont

  • Rising ROE from margin = pricing power, operational improvement (good)
  • Rising ROE from turnover = better asset utilization (good)
  • Rising ROE from leverage = more debt, amplified risk (caution)
  • Falling ROE across all three = structural deterioration (red flag)
