Trend Analysis

ROE declined by 38.9 pp over 4 years. Driven by net margin declining (5.5% → -30.8%), asset turnover improving (0.15x → 0.27x), leverage rising (2.74x → 4.31x). 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)
