Highest ROE

Return on equity (ROE) — net income divided by shareholders' equity — measures how much profit a company earns from each rupee of shareholder capital, and this screen ranks the PSX's most efficient names from the highest down. Consistently high ROE often marks a durable franchise: pricing power, a strong brand, or a cost advantage rivals cannot easily copy. Read it with care, though. Heavy borrowing can inflate ROE without improving the underlying business, so pair it with the debt-to-equity and return-on-assets figures on each stock page, and a single year of unusually high ROE can reflect a one-off gain rather than repeatable earnings. Treat this as a quality-screen starting point, compare each name against its sector median, and confirm the trend across several years. ROE updates with quarterly results. For the earnings-size angle, see Highest EPS.

ROE = Net Income ÷ Shareholders' Equity. It shows the profit generated for each rupee of shareholder capital.

Generally an ROE above 15% is considered strong. Compare against sector peers for context.

Yes — high leverage can inflate ROE. Also look at debt-to-equity and ROA together.
