5 stocks whose return on equities defies weak demand

For the past few years, India Inc has seen its earnings profile deteriorate due to weak demand. The return ratios of companies have taken a beating as profitability declines.

As pointed out by Credit Suisse, companies’ return on equity ( RoE), which measures the degree of efficiency in utilising shareholders’ funds, almost halved to a paltry 12.3% in 2015 from a healthy 23.4% in 2005.


However, a handful of companies bucked the trend and was able to report continuous RoE expansion over the past five years.
