Corum Group Limited's (ASX:COO) Stock Is Rallying But Financials Look Ambiguous: Will The Momentum Continue?

Corum Group (ASX:COO) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 16% over the last month. But the company's key financial indicators appear to be differing across the board and that makes us question whether or not the company's current share price momentum can be maintained. Specifically, we decided to study Corum Group's ROE in this article.

Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Corum Group is:

6.4% = AU$1.5m ÷ AU$23m (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2020).

The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. That means that for every A$1 worth of shareholders' equity, the company generated A$0.06 in profit.
