Dupont De Nemours Inc's return on equity (ROE) has shown variability over the past five years. The ROE was negative at -7.46% as of December 31, 2020, signifying a period of lower profitability relative to shareholder equity. However, there has been an improvement in ROE since then, with figures of 4.45% as of December 31, 2021, 4.00% as of December 31, 2022, 1.74% as of December 31, 2023, and 3.33% as of December 31, 2024.
The positive trend in ROE from 2021 to 2024 indicates a gradual enhancement in the company's ability to generate profit from its equity base. While the ROE figures are moving in the right direction, it is important to note that they are still relatively modest and suggest a need for further improvement in profitability relative to shareholders' investment. Additional analysis of the company's financial performance and operational efficiency would be beneficial to understand the factors contributing to the fluctuating ROE and to identify areas for strategic focus.
