| ''Financial analysis - ratio analysis.''
| | Leptokurtic frequency distribution. |
| | |
| DuPont analysis is a form of financial ratio analysis.
| |
| | |
| It is based on the insight that key financial ratios can often be broken down, in turn, into two or more component ratios.
| |
| | |
| Examining the component ratios, in turn, may yield further insights and opportunities for improvement.
| |
| | |
| | |
| For example, Return on Equity can be broken down into three components:
| |
| | |
| *Net profit margin;
| |
| *Asset turnover; and
| |
| *Leverage.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Measuring and targeting different managers and corporate functions appropriately, can ensure that everyone is pulling in the same direction.
| |
| | |
| This consistency is sometimes known as ''goal congruence''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The ratios are sometimes set out in a pyramid-shaped diagram, with the analysis being known as the ''DuPont pyramid of ratios''.
