Deep Analysis

This sits far below the sector median of 13.6%, and the 8th percentile rank among sector peers means only 8% of peers perform worse on this metric. The trend is not available: year-over-year change is N/A and quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, with only the current -25.1% historical value listed. Because the level is deeply negative and there is no trend data to show improvement, the risk is elevated — the company is currently unprofitable on equity with no visible trajectory to assess recovery. This directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as a negative ROE near the bottom of the sector contradicts any case for confidence in profitability.
