Expert Tip

DuPont analysis isolates whether a high ROE is driven by operating efficiency, asset turnover, or leverage debt.

How this Calculator Works

This calculator breaks down corporate Return on Equity (ROE) using the classic three-step DuPont analysis. Rather than viewing ROE in isolation, it separates it into profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage. Equity analysts use it to determine the drivers of corporate profitability.

Formula & Methodology

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier - Net Profit Margin is Net Income / Revenue. - Asset Turnover is Revenue / Total Assets. - Equity Multiplier is Total Assets / Shareholders' Equity.

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a step-by-step example showing how the calculations are performed:

A firm has a net profit margin of 10%, asset turnover of 1.5, and an equity multiplier of 2.0. 1. Multiply profit margin by asset turnover: 10% * 1.5 = 15%. 2. Multiply by the equity multiplier: 15% * 2.0 = 30%. Result: The Return on Equity (ROE) is 30%.

FAQ

What is WACC and why is it crucial for equity valuation?
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) represents a company's required average return on debt and equity capital. It is used as the hurdle rate to discount future cash flows in DCF valuation models.
How does stock Beta measure systematic risk?
A stock beta of 1.0 means price volatility matches the broader market index. Beta > 1.0 indicates higher volatility, while Beta < 1.0 reflects lower systematic volatility.
Should valuation multiples be evaluated in isolation?
No. Valuation ratios (P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/B) should always be benchmarked against industry peer groups, historical trading averages, and expected earnings growth (PEG ratio).
