Hello Nikhil! I’m Alpha, your CFA® Level I AI Tutor. Ask me any concept, formula derivation, or tricky question breakdown. How can I help you today?

What is ROE?

Return on Equity (ROE)

Return on Equity (ROE) is a fundamental profitability metric that measures the rate of return earned on shareholders’ common equity. It indicates how effectively management deploys shareholder capital to generate net earnings.

Standard Formula: ROE = Net IncomeAverage Shareholders’ Equity

Key CFA® Level I Note: If preferred shares exist, calculate ROE as (Net Income − Preferred Dividends) / Average Common Equity.

What is DuPont Analysis?

DuPont Analysis (3-Step Framework)

DuPont Analysis decomposes ROE into 3 distinct operational components so analysts can identify what is truly driving performance:

ROE = Net Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Financial Leverage

= (Net Income / Revenue) × (Revenue / Total Assets) × (Total Assets / Equity)

1. Profit Margin

Operating efficiency & pricing power

2. Asset Turnover

Asset utilization & sales efficiency

3. Equity Multiplier

Financial leverage & debt usage

Exam Tip: High ROE driven purely by high leverage carries substantial financial risk compared to ROE driven by operational profitability.
