Return on equity of companies engaged in precious metals ore extraction in Russia
Information agency Credinform prepared a ranking of return on equity of companies engaged in precious metals ore extraction in Russia. Companies with this activity, largest in terms of turnover for the latest available in the Statistical Register period (2012), were selected for the ranking. The first 10 selected enterprises were ranked in terms of return on equity decreasing.
Return on equity indicates how many monetary units of net profits were earned by each unit invested by the company’s owners. This index allows assessing the effectiveness of the use of equity capital, invested by the owners. It is calculated as the ratio of net income to equity.
As is known, the standard values for profitability ratios are not defined, as the values of which differ considerably depending on the industry. That is why the ratio should be evaluated in comparison with the industry index values and the values of other companies in the industry.
However, many experts consider that return on equity should be higher than 10-12% for inflationary economies, such as the Russian one. The main comparative criterion is an alternative profitability, which the owner could get by investing in other businesses.
