00:00Are you really evaluating companies correctly or just relying on one number?
00:05Most investors look at ROE return on equity, but this single number can hide more than it reveals.
00:13That's where DuPont Analysis comes in a framework designed to break down ROE into meaningful
00:19insights. Instead of treating ROE as one number, it separates it into three key drivers.
00:25Profitability, Efficiency, Leverage, ROE equals Net Profit Margin times Asset Turnover times Equity Multiplier.
00:34This helps you understand how much profit a company makes, how efficiently it uses its
00:40assets and how much debt it relies on. But if you want deeper insights, there's an advanced
00:46version. The five-step DuPont model breaks it down further. Operating margin, EBIT divided by
00:52revenue leads to profit generated before interest and taxes. Asset Turnover, Revenue divided by
00:59assets leads to efficiency of asset usage. Interest Burden, EBIT divided by EBIT leads to profit left
01:07after interest costs. Tax Burden, taxes divided by income leads to profit remaining after taxes.
01:13Equity Multiplier, assets divided by equity leads to degree of financial leverage.
01:18Together, these show exactly what's driving ROE. A rising ROE isn't always positive. It could be driven
01:26by higher debt, not better performance. DuPont Analysis helps uncover the real story behind the
01:33numbers. Understanding DuPont Analysis can help you evaluate companies more effectively.
