How To Calculate Return On Equity?

Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for DYPNFLtd is:

27% = ₩22b ÷ ₩81b (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2020).

The 'return' refers to a company's earnings over the last year. That means that for every ₩1 worth of shareholders' equity, the company generated ₩0.27 in profit.

What Is The Relationship Between ROE And Earnings Growth?

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don’t share these attributes.

DYPNFLtd's Earnings Growth And 27% ROE

Firstly, we acknowledge that DYPNFLtd has a significantly high ROE. Additionally, the company's ROE is higher compared to the industry average of 4.8% which is quite remarkable. So, the substantial 61% net income growth seen by DYPNFLtd over the past five years isn't overly surprising.

Next, on comparing with the industry net income growth, we found that DYPNFLtd's growth is quite high when compared to the industry average growth of 11% in the same period, which is great to see.

The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth.

This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. Is DYPNFLtd fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures might help you decide.

Is DYPNFLtd Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

DYPNFLtd's ' three-year median payout ratio is on the lower side at 15% implying that it is retaining a higher percentage (85%) of its profits. This suggests that the management is reinvesting most of the profits to grow the business as evidenced by the growth seen by the company.

While DYPNFLtd has been growing its earnings, it only recently started to pay dividends which likely means that the company decided to impress new and existing shareholders with a dividend.

Conclusion

Overall, we are quite pleased with DYPNFLtd's performance. Particularly, we like that the company is reinvesting heavily into its business, and at a high rate of return. Unsurprisingly, this has led to an impressive earnings growth. If the company continues to grow its earnings the way it has, that could have a positive impact on its share price given how earnings per share influence long-term share prices. Let's not forget, business risk is also one of the factors that affects the price of the stock.
