Trend Analysis

ROE stable at ~10%. Driven by asset turnover improving (0.83x → 0.93x), leverage falling (4.51x → 4.08x). 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)
