Trend Analysis

ROE declined by 2.7 pp over 5 years. Driven by net margin declining (30.0% → 25.7%), leverage falling (11.13x → 9.10x). 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)
