As of June 30, 2021, the ROE was reported at 16.88%, indicating a relatively strong return generated for shareholders. In the subsequent year, June 30, 2022, the ROE declined markedly to 10.61%, suggesting a decrease in profitability or increased equity without a commensurate increase in net income. Moving into June 30, 2023, the ROE saw a modest recovery to 12.91%, denoting some improvement in profitability efficiency. The most recent figure for June 30, 2024, increased further to 17.13%, surpassing previous levels and indicating a significant enhancement in the company's ability to generate profits from shareholders' investments. The latest data point, June 30, 2025, shows a slight decrease to 16.76%; however, this remains substantially higher than the 2022 low, maintaining a relatively robust ROE overall.
This pattern suggests periods of volatility in the company's profitability, with a notable dip in 2022 followed by recovery and stabilization in subsequent years. The overall trend from 2021 through 2025 indicates an underlying resilience in generating returns on shareholder equity, albeit with some short-term fluctuations that could be attributable to changes in net income, equity levels, or both.
