Net profit margin used11.50%
Asset turnover used1.35
Equity multiplier used2.10
Formula summary11.50% x 1.35 x 2.10
  • 11.50% of net profit margin multiplied by asset turnover of 1.35 and an equity multiplier of 2.10 produces an estimated ROE near 32.60%.
  • This view helps separate profitability, asset efficiency, and leverage so you can see which part is doing the most work in the ROE estimate.
  • Use the result as a decomposition tool only, because the exact accounting definitions behind each component still matter.

This is a decomposition estimate, not a full company analysis. The DuPont view is useful for context, but it does not replace deeper review of margins, leverage, or unusual items.
