The return on equity (ROE) for the analyzed period demonstrates considerable fluctuation alongside an overall upward trend. Initial values are high, followed by a period of relative stability, then a significant increase, and a sharp decline before recovering. A detailed examination reveals distinct phases in the company’s performance.

Initial Period (2005-2007)
From 2005 to 2007, ROE experienced a gradual decline from 40.17% to 32.23%. This decrease occurred despite consistent growth in net income, suggesting a faster rate of growth in shareholders’ equity during this timeframe. The equity expansion outpaced profit growth, leading to the reduced ROE.
Recovery and Peak (2008-2013)
Between 2008 and 2013, ROE exhibited a strong recovery and reached its peak. It rose from 36.21% in 2008 to 52.01% in 2013. This period was characterized by substantial increases in both net income and shareholders’ equity, with net income growing at a faster rate than equity. This indicates improved profitability relative to the capital invested.
Plateau and Decline (2014-2017)
From 2014 to 2017, ROE remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 50.53% and 52.88%, before decreasing to 50.95%. While net income continued to grow, the growth in shareholders’ equity largely kept pace, preventing significant ROE increases. The slight decline in 2017 suggests a potential moderation in profitability relative to equity.
Volatility and Significant Drop (2018-2020)
The period between 2018 and 2020 was marked by volatility. ROE increased significantly to 60.61% in 2018, then decreased to 55.01% in 2019, and experienced a dramatic drop to 1.55% in 2020. This substantial decline in 2020 is directly attributable to a significant decrease in net income, while shareholders’ equity continued to grow. This indicates a substantial reduction in profitability.
Recent Recovery (2021-2026)
Following the sharp decline, ROE demonstrated a strong recovery, increasing from 1.55% in 2020 to 54.69% in 2021, 54.97% in 2022, 61.27% in 2023, 57.95% in 2024, and 53.92% in 2025. This recovery is driven by a substantial increase in net income, coupled with a more moderate growth in shareholders’ equity. The most recent value in 2026 shows a slight decrease, but remains at a relatively high level.

In summary, the ROE has shown a long-term tendency to increase, but with considerable short-term fluctuations. The most significant disruption occurred in 2020, followed by a robust recovery. The company’s ability to generate profits relative to shareholder investment has generally improved over the analyzed period, although the volatility highlights potential sensitivity to external factors or internal operational changes.
