Explanation of Stockholder's Equity Growth Rate:
The Stockholder's Equity Growth Rate measures the amount of additional
equity that is being added to the equity provided by the
stockholders.
Importance of Stockholder's Equity Growth Rate:
A high, or increasing Stockholder's Equity Growth Rate over several
periods is a positive sign, as more of a percentage of equity is being held
in stockholder's equity. A decreasing Stockholder's Equity Growth
Rate may indicate the company is taking in fewer Net Earnings or is giving out
more Stock Dividends. A change in Total Stockholder's Equity might also
cause the rate to decrease, such as a larger than normal dividend dispersment
in recent periods.
