Based on Return on Equity (ROE):
The above biggest banks are not the top banks in terms of ROE.
Based on ROE:
BDO is No. 13
Metrobank is No. 18
Landbank is No. 12
BPI is No. 15
PNB is No. 24
ROE is calculated by dividing net income by shareholders’ equity.
ROE indicates how effectively a business is using equity (the money contributed by its stockholders) and cumulative retained profits to produce income.
ROE measures a company’s ability to turn equity capital into net profit.
ROE is also called Return on Net Assets.
The top banks in the Philippines, based on ROE, as of December 2019 are:
1. Citibank
2. Veterans
3. UCPB
4. JP Morgan
5. HSBC
6. Union Bank
7. BDO Private Bank
8. AUB
9. Deutsche Bank
10. Bank of America
Is it good for account owners (but not shareholders) that their banks are not high in the ROE rankings? Does this mean that they’re also balancing their commitment to customers (account owners that are not shareholders) and their commitment to shareholders?
