Return on equity, or ROE, is a helpful metric for determining how successfully a business can create returns on the investments that it has received from its shareholders. Simply put, ROE displays the profit that each dollar makes relative to shareholder investments.

How Is Return on Equity Calculated? 

The following formula can be used to determine ROE: 

• Net profit (from ongoing operations) minus shareholders’ equity equals a return on equity. 
• According to the calculation above, Anglo American’s ROE is as follows: 
• 26% = $9.3 billion to 36 billion dollars (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2022). 
• The profit made during the previous 12 months is the “return.” To put it another way, the company was able to make £0.26 in profit for every £1 in equity.

What Connection Does ROE Have To Earnings Growth? 

So far, we’ve learnt that ROE gauges a business’s profitability generation efficiency. The amount of profit the company reinvests or “retains” for future expansion must now be assessed in order to determine its growth potential. Organizations that have both a greater return on equity and higher profit retention tend to have a better growth rate when compared to businesses that don’t have the same traits, assuming that other factors are equal. 

Earnings Growth And 26% ROE For Anglo American 

First of all, Anglo American plc has a strong ROE. Second, one can’t help but draw comparisons with the 16% average ROE given by the sector. Anglo American plc was able to see a respectable net income rise of 19% over the previous five years, likely as a result of the same. 

The rise of Anglo American’s net income was then compared to that of the sector which showed that it was comparable to the sector’s average growth of 18% over the same time period. 

To a large extent, a company’s earnings growth serves as the foundation for assigning value to it. Investors then need to examine whether or not the anticipated profit growth—or lack thereof—has already been factored into the share price. They can determine whether the stock’s future appears good or concerning by doing the same.
