Deep Analysis

Return on Equity (ROE) measures profit generated per dollar of shareholder equity; a 2.9% ROE means the company earns $0.029 for each $1 of equity.

This sits below the sector median of 13.5% and lands in the 17th percentile among peers. The trend is partially unavailable: the year-over-year change is N/A, while the quarter-over-quarter change shows a 49.1% decline from 5.7% to 2.9%. The low ROE combined with that sharp recent drop signals weaker profitability relative to peers and raises near-term risk. This metric contradicts a bullish stance and supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, since the current level offers no clear advantage and the limited trend data prevents confirmation of sustained deterioration.
