π What is DuPont Analysis?
π‘ What is DuPont Analysis?
Imagine Bunty runs a shoe shop π.
He wants to know:
π Is his business truly profitable?
π Is he using his money well?
π Is the shop running efficiently?
DuPont Analysis helps to break this big question into 3 small, simple parts! π―
π― What is DuPont Analysis?
π DuPont Analysis = Break down of Return on Equity (ROE) into 3 pieces! π
βοΈ ROE (Return on Equity) = "How much profit Bunty made using his own money (equity)?" π°
But where is this profit coming from? Hmm... π€
β
From good sales?
β
From big profit on each sale?
β
From using less money to run business?
π DuPont breaks ROE into 3 easy things to see the truth!
π¨ The 3 Magic Parts of DuPont:
1οΈβ£ Net Profit Margin (Profitability) πΈ
π How much profit from each βΉ100 sale?
βοΈ If this is HIGH = Bunty earns well from every shoe sold! πβ
2οΈβ£ Asset Turnover (Efficiency) π
π How well is Bunty using his shopβs things (machines, racks, stock) to make sales?
βοΈ If HIGH = He is using his shop smartly, not letting stock gather dust! ππ
3οΈβ£ Equity Multiplier (Leverage) π¦
π How much of the business is run by loans vs own money?
βοΈ If HIGH = More borrowed money, risky but may boost profits! β οΈ
π― The DuPont Formula (In Fun Words):
ROE = Net Profit Margin Γ Asset Turnover Γ Equity Multiplier
βοΈ Profitability Γ Efficiency Γ Leverage = Final Return on Equity
π If any 1 of these is LOW β the total ROE suffers π.
π If all 3 are GOOD β ROE becomes super strong! πͺπ°
π¨ Funny Example:
Bunty sells βΉ1,00,000 shoes:
βοΈ His Profit Margin is 10% β earns βΉ10,000 profit πΈ
βοΈ His Asset Turnover is 2 β earns βΉ2 for every βΉ1 in shop! π
βοΈ His Equity Multiplier is 1.5 β partly using bank loan π¦
π ROE = 10% Γ 2 Γ 1.5 = 30%
π― Means: For every βΉ100 of Buntyβs own money, he earns βΉ30 profit! π
π€ Why DuPont is Important?
βοΈ Breaks big profit numbers into 3 small parts to understand whatβs good and whatβs bad! π
βοΈ Investors see:
β
Is the profit because of real sales?
β
Is the company borrowing too much?
β
Is the business working efficiently?
β οΈ When to Worry?
β Low Net Margin? β Products not profitable! π°
β Low Asset Turnover? β Machines or stock lying unused! π
β High Leverage? β Too much loan, risky if profits fall! π¨
π Funny Tip:
βοΈ DuPont is like checking your salary savings:
β
Do you earn enough salary? πΌ
β
Do you use your money wisely or waste it? π³
β
Do you depend too much on credit cards? π¦
βοΈ If all 3 are good β your savings (ROE) shine! π
π In a Nutshell:
βοΈ DuPont Analysis = Profit Margin Γ Efficiency Γ Leverage
βοΈ Helps see WHY a company is doing well or badly.
βοΈ Great tool for serious investors to know the truth behind numbers! π‘
π‘ βStrong companies donβt just make profits β they do it efficiently, smartly, and safely. Thatβs what DuPont shows!β ππ°
