How Do I Calculate Return On Equity?
The
formula for ROE
is:
Return on Equity = Net Profit ÷ Shareholders’ Equity
Or for Shubhlaxmi Jewel Art:
15% = 8.243 ÷ ₹55m (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2018.)
It’s easy to understand the ‘net profit’ part of that equation, but ‘shareholders’ equity’ requires further explanation. It is the capital paid in by shareholders, plus any retained earnings. The easiest way to calculate shareholders’ equity is to subtract the company’s total liabilities from the total assets.
What Does Return On Equity Mean?
Return on Equity measures a company’s profitability against the profit it has kept for the business (plus any capital injections). The ‘return’ is the yearly profit. That means that the higher the ROE, the more profitable the company is. So, as a general rule,
a high ROE is a good thing
. That means ROE can be used to compare two businesses.
Does Shubhlaxmi Jewel Art Have A Good Return On Equity?
Arguably the easiest way to assess company’s ROE is to compare it with the average in its industry. However, this method is only useful as a rough check, because companies do differ quite a bit within the same industry classification. As is clear from the image below, Shubhlaxmi Jewel Art has a better ROE than the average (11%) in the Specialty Retail industry.

That’s clearly a positive. I usually take a closer look when a company has a better ROE than industry peers. For example,
I often check if insiders have been buying shares
.
Why You Should Consider Debt When Looking At ROE
Virtually all companies need money to invest in the business, to grow profits. That cash can come from issuing shares, retained earnings, or debt. In the first two cases, the ROE will capture this use of capital to grow. In the latter case, the debt required for growth will boost returns, but will not impact the shareholders’ equity. Thus the use of debt can improve ROE, albeit along with extra risk in the case of stormy weather, metaphorically speaking.

Shubhlaxmi Jewel Art’s Debt And Its 15% ROE
Shubhlaxmi Jewel Art does use a significant amount of debt to increase returns. It has a debt to equity ratio of 1.69. While the ROE isn’t too bad, it would probably be a lot lower if the company was forced to reduce debt. Debt increases risk and reduces options for the company in the future, so you generally want to see some good returns from using it.
In Summary
Return on equity is useful for comparing the quality of different businesses. A company that can achieve a high return on equity without debt could be considered a high quality business. If two companies have the same ROE, then I would generally prefer the one with less debt.
But when a business is high quality, the market often bids it up to a price that reflects this. Profit growth rates, versus the expectations reflected in the price of the stock, are a particularly important to consider. You can see how the company has grow in the past by looking at this FREE
