What is Dupont analysis? How is it used in fanancial analysis? Can you
give me examples of its use?

Hi! Thanks for the question.

Our first link provides a good definition of the Dupont analysis and
it also provides good examples on how to use them.

"The DuPont System of Analysis merges the income statement and balance
sheet into two summary measures of profitability: Return on Assets
(ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The system uses three financial
ratios to express the ROA and ROE: Operating Profit Margin Ratio
(OPM), Asset Turnover Ratio (ATR), and Equity Multiplier (EM)."
