Profitability Ratios

Return metrics have inflected sharply. ROE expanded from 8.0% in FY2023 to 15.6% in FY2024 and 26.9% in FY2025 . ROA followed the same arc: 2.0% (FY2023), 3.9% (FY2024), 9.6% (FY2025) . ROCE reached 35.9% in FY2025, supported by the asset-light nature of the assembly model that generates strong capital returns despite a historically moderate margin profile . Sustained margin expansion and a firm forward revenue outlook position Stelmec well for continued return improvement into FY2026.
