Return on Equity (ROE) is a measure of a company’s financial performance calculated by dividing its net income by shareholders’ equity. It is a good measure of a company’s profitability and how efficient its management is in generating profits. The higher a company’s ROE is, the more efficient its management is at generating income and growth from its equity financing. 

Here are a few penny stocks with a high return on equity: 

Standard Industries Ltd 

The company is in the business of property division and trading in textiles and chemicals. It is a penny stock with a market capitalization of ₹173 crores and a share price of ₹ 27.80 apiece. 

It has a massive return on equity of 375.92% and an ideal debt to equity ratio of 0.18. The company has a very high dividend yield of 9.28%. One of the main reasons for its high return on equity is a massive jump in its profit from ₹ 3.11 crores in the financial year (FY) 2020-21 to ₹ 184.66 crores in FY 2021-22. Its net sales increased from ₹ 11.9 crores to ₹ 438.96 crores during the same period. 

Its shares gave multibagger returns of 130.70% in the past year as its share price increased from ₹ 12.05 apiece to ₹ 27.80 apiece. Therefore, if an investor would have invested ₹ 1 lakh in the company’s shares a year ago, the value of their holdings would have been ₹ 2.30 lakhs today!
