How do you calculate the return on equity?
The Formula for the return on equity is:
Return on Equity = Net Income (from continuing operations) ÷ Equity
So, based on the formula above, the ROE for JS Global Lifestyle is:
12% = $ 170 million ÷ $ 1.4 billion (based on the last twelve months through June 2020).
The “rate of return” is the income that the company has earned over the past year. Another possibility is that for every HK $ 1 worth of equity, the company has made a profit of HK $ 0.12.
What is the relationship between ROI and earnings growth?
So far we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company generates its profits. Based on how much of its profits the company intends to reinvest or “keep”, we can then evaluate a company’s future ability to generate profits. Assuming that everything else stays the same, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that do not necessarily have these characteristics.
