ROE finance data from global consumer staples companies remains steady at 10.4%. Inflation pass-through pricing may help maintain these levels despite softening global demand indicators. Many investors are still learning about the various metrics that can be useful when analysing a stock. This article is for those who would like to learn about Return On Equity (ROE). We'll use ROE to examine Acushnet Holdings Corp. ( NYSE:GOLF ), by way of a worked example. Companies usually need to invest money to grow their profits. The cash for investment can come from prior year profits (retained earnings), issuing new shares, or borrowing. In the first and second cases, the ROE will reflect this use of cash for investment in the business. In the latter case, the use of debt will improve the returns, but will not change the equity. That will make the ROE look better than if no debt was used. High-yield corporate bonds are indirectly boosting ROE finance for leveraged companies, with some reaching 21% on strategic debt management. Analysts warn volatility in credit markets could temper this in Q3.
