With its stock down 17% over the past three months, it is easy to disregard Polyrocks Chemical (SHSE:688669). But if you pay close attention, you might find that its key financial indicators look quite decent, which could mean that the stock could potentially rise in the long-term given how markets usually reward more resilient long-term fundamentals. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Polyrocks Chemical's ROE today.
Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital.

How To Calculate Return On Equity?
The formula for ROE is:
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Polyrocks Chemical is:
4.5% = CN¥77m ÷ CN¥1.7b (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2022).
The 'return' is the yearly profit. Another way to think of that is that for every CN¥1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn CN¥0.05 in profit.
What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?
Thus far, we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company is generating its profits. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or "retains", and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company's earnings growth potential. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don't share these attributes.
Polyrocks Chemical's Earnings Growth And 4.5% ROE
It is quite clear that Polyrocks Chemical's ROE is rather low. Even when compared to the industry average of 9.6%, the ROE figure is pretty disappointing. Polyrocks Chemical was still able to see a decent net income growth of 6.9% over the past five years. We believe that there might be other aspects that are positively influencing the company's earnings growth. For instance, the company has a low payout ratio or is being managed efficiently.
As a next step, we compared Polyrocks Chemical's net income growth with the industry and were disappointed to see that the company's growth is lower than the industry average growth of 20% in the same period.

Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. It's important for an investor to know whether the market has priced in the company's expected earnings growth (or decline). Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. One good indicator of expected earnings growth is the P/E ratio which determines the price the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings prospects. So, you may want to check if Polyrocks Chemical is trading on a high P/E or a low P/E, relative to its industry.
Is Polyrocks Chemical Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?
Polyrocks Chemical has a low three-year median payout ratio of 14%, meaning that the company retains the remaining 86% of its profits. This suggests that the management is reinvesting most of the profits to grow the business.
Along with seeing a growth in earnings, Polyrocks Chemical only recently started paying dividends. Its quite possible that the company was looking to impress its shareholders.
Conclusion
In total, it does look like Polyrocks Chemical has some positive aspects to its business. Specifically, its fairly high earnings growth number, which no doubt was backed by the company's high earnings retention. Still, the low ROE means that all that reinvestment is not reaping a lot of benefit to the investors. While we won't completely dismiss the company, what we would do, is try to ascertain how risky the business is to make a more informed decision around the company.

在过去三个月里其股价下跌了17%,人们很容易忽视宝利洛克化工(上交所:688669)。但如果你密切关注,你可能会发现,该公司的关键财务指标看起来相当不错,这可能意味着,鉴于市场通常会奖励更具弹性的长期基本面因素,该股可能会在长期内上涨。特别是,我们今天将关注宝利洛克化学公司的净资产收益率。
股本回报率(ROE)是用来评估公司管理层利用公司资本效率的关键指标。简而言之,它是用来评估一家公司相对于其权益资本的盈利能力。
查看我们对Polyrocks化学公司的最新分析
如何计算股本回报率?
这个净资产收益率公式是:
股本回报率=(持续经营的)净利润?股东权益
因此,根据上面的公式,Polyrocks化学公司的净资产收益率为:
4.5%=7700万元×17亿元(以截至2022年9月的12个月为基础)。
“回报”就是年度利润。另一种说法是,公司每持有价值1元的股权,就能赚取0.05元的利润。
净资产收益率与盈利增长有什么关系?
到目前为止,我们已经了解到净资产收益率衡量的是一家公司创造利润的效率。根据公司将这些利润再投资或“保留”多少,以及这样做的效率如何,我们就能够评估一家公司的收益增长潜力。一般来说,在其他条件相同的情况下,股本回报率和利润留存较高的公司比不具备这些特征的公司有更高的增长率。
宝利洛克化工的收益增长和4.5%的净资产收益率
很明显,宝利洛克化工的净资产收益率(ROE)相当低。即使与9.6%的行业平均水平相比,净资产收益率数字也相当令人失望。在过去的五年中,宝利洛克化工仍然能够实现6.9%的可观净收入增长。我们认为,可能还有其他方面正在积极影响公司的收益增长。例如,该公司的派息率较低或管理效率较高。
作为下一步,我们将Polyrocks化学的净收入增长与行业进行了比较,并失望地看到,该公司的增长低于同期20%的行业平均增长。

盈利增长是股票估值的一个重要因素。对于投资者来说,重要的是知道市场是否已经消化了公司预期的收益增长(或下降)。这样做将有助于他们确定该股的未来看起来是光明的还是不祥的。衡量预期收益增长的一个很好的指标是市盈率,它根据一只股票的盈利前景决定市场愿意为其支付的价格。因此,你可能想看看宝利洛克化工相对于其行业是高市盈率还是低市盈率。
宝利洛克化工是否有效地将其利润进行了再投资?
Polyrocks Chemical的三年派息率中值较低,为14%,这意味着该公司保留了剩余86%的利润。这表明管理层正在将大部分利润进行再投资,以实现业务增长。
在看到收益增长的同时,Polyrocks化学公司最近才开始支付股息。该公司很可能希望给股东留下深刻印象。
结论
总体而言,看起来宝利洛克化学公司的业务确实有一些积极的方面。具体地说,它相当高的收益增长数字,这无疑得到了该公司高收益留存的支持。尽管如此,较低的净资产收益率意味着,所有这些再投资并没有给投资者带来很多好处。虽然我们不会完全解雇这家公司,但我们要做的是努力确定这项业务在公司周围做出更明智的决定的风险有多大。要了解我们为Polyrocks化学公司确定的4个风险,请免费访问我们的风险仪表板。
