DuPont Analysis

ROE 9.0% broken into three drivers. Each shows how efficiently the company generates returns.

ROE9.0%=
6.6%Net Margin
×
0.4xTurnover
×
3.2xLeverage

ROE of 8.96% is modest margin-driven and stable. Net margin of 6.6% × asset turnover of 0.43x × leverage of 3.2x.

What This Means

Net margin of 6.6% means the company keeps ₹6.6 as profit for every ₹100 of revenue. This is a moderate-margin business. Asset turnover of 0.43x means the company generates ₹0.43 of revenue for every ₹1 of assets. This is a capital-heavy business. Leverage of 3.2x means the company uses significant debt. Higher leverage amplifies returns but also risk.
