Trade War Scaring You? 5 DuPont-Tested Quality Stocks
As U.S.-China trade tensions have escalated this month and market volatility has edged higher, investors are probably hunting for some quality picks to stay unscathed by the trade-war-inflicted selloff. In this vein, betting on stocks that are rich in return on equity (ROE) can be rewarding.
ROE is one of the most coveted metrics among investors in search of profit-generating stocks. But ROE doesn’t always tell the complete story and an investor might make a mistake by selecting stocks based on this ratio. Thus, taking a step beyond the basic ROE and analyzing it at an advanced level or applying the DuPont (NYSE:DWDP) technique seem a prudent decision.
Here is how DuPont breaks down ROE into its different components:
ROE = Net Income/Equity
Net Income / Equity = (Net Income / Sales) * (Sales / Assets) * (Assets / Equity)
ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover Ratio * Equity Multiplier
