Most readers would already know that Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s (NYSE:TME) stock increased by 8.7% over the past three months. Since the market usually pay for a company’s long-term financial health, we decided to study the company’s fundamentals to see if they could be influencing the market. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s ROE today.
Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company’s management is utilizing the company’s capital. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company’s shareholders.
ROE can be calculated by using the formula:
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders’ Equity
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Tencent Music Entertainment Group is:
12% = CN¥11b ÷ CN¥86b (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2025).
The ‘return’ is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. Another way to think of that is that for every $1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn $0.12 in profit.

Thus far, we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company is generating its profits. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or “retains”, and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company’s earnings growth potential. Assuming all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don’t have the same features.
To start with, Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s ROE looks acceptable. Even when compared to the industry average of 12% the company’s ROE looks quite decent. This certainly adds some context to Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s moderate 20% net income growth seen over the past five years.
Next, on comparing with the industry net income growth, we found that Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s reported growth was lower than the industry growth of 38% over the last few years, which is not something we like to see.
