Will Weakness in Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.'s (TSE:GMX) Stock Prove Temporary Given Strong Fundamentals?

With its stock down 36% over the past three months, it is easy to disregard Globex Mining Enterprises (TSE:GMX). However, a closer look at its sound financials might cause you to think again. Given that fundamentals usually drive long-term market outcomes, the company is worth looking at. In this article, we decided to focus on Globex Mining Enterprises' 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. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company's shareholders.

How To Calculate Return On Equity?

ROE can be calculated by using the formula:

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

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Globex Mining Enterprises is:

67% = CA$23m ÷ CA$35m (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2022).

The 'return' is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. That means that for every CA$1 worth of shareholders' equity, the company generated CA$0.67 in profit.

Why Is ROE Important For 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 all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don't have the same features.

Globex Mining Enterprises' Earnings Growth And 67% ROE

To begin with, Globex Mining Enterprises has a pretty high ROE which is interesting. Additionally, the company's ROE is higher compared to the industry average of 9.9% which is quite remarkable. Under the circumstances, Globex Mining Enterprises' considerable five year net income growth of 78% was to be expected.

Next, on comparing with the industry net income growth, we found that Globex Mining Enterprises' growth is quite high when compared to the industry average growth of 26% in the same period, which is great to see.

Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. What is GMX worth today?

Is Globex Mining Enterprises Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

Given that Globex Mining Enterprises doesn't pay any dividend to its shareholders, we infer that the company has been reinvesting all of its profits to grow its business.

Summary

On the whole, we feel that Globex Mining Enterprises' performance has been quite good. Specifically, we like that the company is reinvesting a huge chunk of its profits at a high rate of return. This of course has caused the company to see substantial growth in its earnings. If the company continues to grow its earnings the way it has, that could have a positive impact on its share price given how earnings per share influence long-term share prices. Not to forget, share price outcomes are also dependent on the potential risks a company may face. So it is important for investors to be aware of the risks involved in the business.
