So far, we have learned that Roe is a measure of company profitability. We now need to assess how much profit company reinveste or “keeps” the future growth, which then gives us the idea of ​​the company’s growth potential. Assuming that everything else is smooth, companies with higher return on property and higher profit maintaining are usually those whose growth rate is higher compared to companies that do not have the same functions.

First, we acknowledge that Waters has a much high Roe. Second, even in the average of the industry, 11%, the company ROE is quite impressive. Nonetheless, Waters five -year net income growth was relatively low – only 2.1%. This is interesting because high returns should mean that the company has the opportunity to create a major growth, but for some reason it has not done so.
