TD SYNNEX (NYSE:SNX) has had a rough month with its share price down 4.3%. However, the company's fundamentals look pretty decent, and long-term financials are usually aligned with future market price movements. In this article, we decided to focus on TD SYNNEX's ROE.

Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital.

How To Calculate Return On Equity?

The formula for return on equity is:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for TD SYNNEX is:

8.4% = US$682m ÷ US$8.2b (Based on the trailing twelve months to August 2024).

The 'return' is the profit over the last twelve months. Another way to think of that is that for every $1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn $0.08 in profit.

What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?

Thus far, we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company is generating its profits. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.

TD SYNNEX's Earnings Growth And 8.4% ROE

On the face of it, TD SYNNEX's ROE is not much to talk about. A quick further study shows that the company's ROE doesn't compare favorably to the industry average of 10% either. However, the moderate 14% net income growth seen by TD SYNNEX over the past five years is definitely a positive. We reckon that there could be other factors at play here. For example, it is possible that the company's management has made some good strategic decisions, or that the company has a low payout ratio.

We then performed a comparison between TD SYNNEX's net income growth with the industry, which revealed that the company's growth is similar to the average industry growth of 14% in the same 5-year period.

This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. Is TD SYNNEX fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures might help you decide.

Is TD SYNNEX Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

TD SYNNEX has a low three-year median payout ratio of 19%, meaning that the company retains the remaining 81% of its profits. This suggests that the management is reinvesting most of the profits to grow the business.

Moreover, TD SYNNEX is determined to keep sharing its profits with shareholders which we infer from its long history of paying a dividend for at least ten years. Upon studying the latest analysts' consensus data, we found that the company's future payout ratio is expected to drop to 14% over the next three years. As a result, the expected drop in TD SYNNEX's payout ratio explains the anticipated rise in the company's future ROE to 13%, over the same period.

Summary

Overall, we feel that TD SYNNEX certainly does have some positive factors to consider. Even in spite of the low rate of return, the company has posted impressive earnings growth as a result of reinvesting heavily into its business. On studying current analyst estimates, we found that analysts expect the company to continue its recent growth streak.
