Trend Analysis

ROE declined by 7.1 pp over 5 years. Driven by net margin improving (-13.2% → -6.6%), asset turnover improving (0.62x → 0.83x), leverage rising (2.29x → 4.69x). 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)
