Oceania Healthcare (NZSE:OCA) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 24% over the last three months. Given that stock prices are usually aligned with a company's financial performance in the long-term, we decided to study its financial indicators more closely to see if they had a hand to play in the recent price move. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Oceania Healthcare'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 short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.

See our latest analysis for Oceania Healthcare

The formula for return on equity is:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Oceania Healthcare is:

9.5% = NZ$59m NZ$618m (Based on the trailing twelve months to November 2019).

The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. Another way to think of that is that for every NZ$1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn NZ$0.10 in profit.

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. 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 companys earnings growth potential. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that dont share these attributes.

On the face of it, Oceania Healthcare's ROE is not much to talk about. However, given that the company's ROE is similar to the average industry ROE of 9.5%, we may spare it some thought. On the other hand, Oceania Healthcare reported a moderate 8.2% net income growth over the past five years. Given the slightly low ROE, it is likely that there could be some other aspects that are driving this growth. For instance, the company has a low payout ratio or is being managed efficiently.

We then performed a comparison between Oceania Healthcare's net income growth with the industry, which revealed that the company's growth is similar to the average industry growth of 8.2% in the same period.

The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. One good indicator of expected earnings growth is the P/E ratio which determines the price the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings prospects. So, you may want to check if Oceania Healthcare is trading on a high P/E or a low P/E, relative to its industry.

The high three-year median payout ratio of 50% (or a retention ratio of 50%) for Oceania Healthcare suggests that the company's growth wasn't really hampered despite it returning most of its income to its shareholders.

Story continues

While Oceania Healthcare has seen growth in its earnings, it only recently started to pay a dividend. It is most likely that the company decided to impress new and existing shareholders with a dividend. Our latest analyst data shows that the future payout ratio of the company over the next three years is expected to be approximately 56%. Still, forecasts suggest that Oceania Healthcare's future ROE will drop to 7.1% even though the the company's payout ratio is not expected to change by much.

In total, it does look like Oceania Healthcare has some positive aspects to its business. That is, quite an impressive growth in earnings. However, the low profit retention means that the company's earnings growth could have been higher, had it been reinvesting a higher portion of its profits. Having said that, on studying current analyst estimates, we were concerned to see that while the company has grown its earnings in the past, analysts expect its earnings to shrink in the future. To know more about the company's future earnings growth forecasts take a look at this free report on analyst forecasts for the company to find out more.

Has Oceania Healthcare Limited's (NZSE:OCA) Impressive Stock Performance Got Anything to Do With Its Fundamentals? - Yahoo Finance

Each year, the total amount of electric and electronic equipment the world uses grows by 2.5 million tonnes. Phones, radios, toys, laptops if it has power or battery supply its likely to join a growing mountain of e-waste after use, writes Vanessa Forti, programme associate at the United Nations University.

In 2019 alone, the world generated 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste. Thats about 7.3 kilograms per person and equivalent in weight to 350 cruise ships.

Asia produced the lions share 24.9 million tonnes followed by the Americas (13.1 million tonnes) and Europe (12 million tonnes), while Africa and Oceania generated 2.9 and 0.7 million tonnes respectively.

By 2030, the global total is likely to swell to 74.7 million tonnes, almost a doubling of the annual amount of new e-waste in just 16 years. This makes it the worlds fastest-growing domestic waste stream, fuelled mainly by more people buying electronic products with shorter life cycles and fewer options for repair.

These products can help improve living standards, and its good that more and more people can afford them.

But growing global demand is outpacing our capacity to recycle or dispose of electronic products safely. Once theyre obsolete and discarded, these products can end up accumulating in the environment, polluting habitats and harming people and wildlife.

E-waste recycling

Only 17.4% of 2019s e-waste was formally collected and recycled.

Since 2014, the amount of recycled e-waste has only grown by 1.8 million tonnes each year. The total amount of e-waste generated increased by 9.2 million tonnes over the same period. At the same time, the amount of undocumented e-waste is increasing.

In new research, we found that Europe has the highest collection and recycling rate, covering about 42.5% of the total e-waste generated in 2019.

Asia ranked second at 11.7%, the Americas and Oceania were similar at 9.4% and 8.8%, and Africa had the lowest rate at 0.9%. What happened with the rest (82.6%) of the worlds e-waste generated in 2019 isnt clear.

In high-income countries, around 8% of e-waste is thought to be discarded in waste bins, while 7%-20% is exported. In lower-income countries, the picture is less clear, as e-waste is mostly managed informally.

How the world managed e-waste in 2019

Without a reliable system of waste management, toxic substances contained in e-waste, such as mercury, brominated flame retardants, chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, are more likely to be released into the environment and harm the people who live, work and play in e-waste scrapyards.

Mercury is used in computer monitors and fluorescent lighting, but exposure to it can cause brain damage. We estimated that about 50 tonnes of mercury is contained in these undocumented flows of e-waste that end up in the environment each year.

E-waste doesnt just pose a health risk though. It also contributes directly to global warming. Dumped temperature-exchange equipment, found in fridges and air conditioners, can slowly release greenhouse gases. About 98 million tonnes are thought to leak from scrapyards each year, equivalent to 0.3% of global emissions from the energy sector.

Aside from toxins, e-waste also contains precious metals and useful raw materials, such as gold, silver, copper and platinum. The total value of all this discarded as e-waste in 2019 has been conservatively valued at US$57 billion (45 billion) a sum greater than the GDP of most countries.

But since only 17.4% of 2019s e-waste was collected and recycled, just US$10 billion of this was recovered in an environmentally responsible way. Only 4 million tonnes of raw materials were made available for recycling.

Thankfully, the world is slowly waking up to the scale of this problem. As of the end of 2019, 78 countries, covering 71% of the worlds population, either had a policy for managing e-waste or were putting regulation in place an increase of 5% from 2017. But in many of these countries, policies still arent legally binding and regulation isnt enforced.

As researchers, well continue to monitor the worlds e-waste to support the creation of a circular economy and sustainable societies. We hope that our efforts to track this growing problem can spur governments to act with an urgency that reflects the scale of the challenge, with laws and enforcement that can drastically increase the proportion of e-waste thats recycled safely.

COVID-19 to Have Significant Effect on Worldwide Adoption of In-Circuit Tester in 2020 - GuruFocus.com

Oceania isn't a mythical underwater world like the lost city of Atlantis. Instead, it's a real place, resting in the immensity of the Pacific Ocean. If you've ever spent time in Australia or New Zealand, you were in Oceania, but that's just the beginning. This unimaginably vast region stretches on for many more miles, often just bits of dry land peeking out of the great blue ocean. Here are nine things to know about it.

Oceania is an incredibly vast geographical region with boundaries that geographers can't quite agree on. It consists of Australia, and a constellation of islands, large and small, mostly located north and east of Australia. By some counts, there are roughly 10,000 such islands covering more than 100 million square kilometers (38,600,000 square miles) of ocean surface, but just over 8 million square kilometers (3 million square miles) of land.

The region's so enormous that if you include surface water and surface land, it's bigger than all the other land area on Earth combined.

Most of the islands are downright tiny and uninhabited. But others, like New Zealand and the eastern half of New Guinea, are sizable by comparison.

Oceania is so enormous that geographers break it into smaller chunks. The most common subdivisions are Australia, followed by Melanesia (from New Guinea island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean to Tonga); Micronesia (more than 600 islands in the Pacific, like Palau, Kiribati and the Federated States of Micronesia); and Polynesia (more than 1,000 islands including New Zealand, Cook Island, Samoa and Hawaii.)

People have lived in Australia for at least 60,000 years, and they reached the Solomon Islands about 30,000 years ago. But in other tiny remote areas of Southeast Asia, humans are relative newcomers, having arrived just 1,000 years ago.

How they did so befuddles many scientists, who struggle to see how prehistoric people with few instruments could possibly navigate the vast waters separating these far-flung outposts.

Oceania is known for its cannibalistic past. In 1839, two British missionaries visited Erromango, part of the Vanuatu archipelago, which in older times was called Martyr's Island. They were devoured by the locals. Anthropologists believe that cannibalism was practiced in that area until at least 1969. One local in 2008 even gave out the recipe for cooking a human after killing (baking time is three to five hours.)

On Fiji, the practice of human flesh eating survived until at least the 1800s. The belief was that eating your enemies transferred their power to you. Even in 2011, there were reports that a German tourist was eaten in French Polynesia, though experts think it was more likely a garden-variety murder with the killer trying to burn evidence of the body. Nowadays, "cannibal tours" are offered for tourists, and souvenir shops selling "cannibal dolls" are abundant in the Pacific Islands.

Some sources estimate that sheep actually outnumber people in Oceania. Most of its landmasses are sparsely populated, but there are roughly 42 million people living there, strewn throughout 14 different countries.

Australia (25 million) makes up most of the population, followed by Papua New Guinea (9 million), New Zealand (5 million), Fiji (1 million) and the Solomon Islands (nearly 700,000). The remaining countries are Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

Territories and dependencies include American Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Guam, New Caledonia, Niue, Northern Mariana Islands, Pitcairn Island, Tokelau, and Wallis and Futuna. Niue and Tokelau are the least populated places in Oceania less than 1,700 people each.

No wonder the region is called Oceania water is Oceania's defining feature.Most of the region is under the Pacific Ocean just 8 percent is aboveground (as we said earlier 100 million square kilometers of ocean but just 8 million square kilometers of land). Given its small percentage of landmass, perhaps it's no surprise that Oceania's population density is just eight people per square kilometer (roughly three people per square mile).

Safety alert: please do not try this at home.

On the southern tip of Pentecost Island, Vanuatu, the local men practice what's called Gol, or Nanggol land diving. They construct haphazard-looking stick towers, tie vines to their ankles and then jump off headfirst.

These plunges see the hurtling bodies reaching speeds of 45 mph (72 kph) or more. And the most successful dives are the ones where the men can tuck their heads at the last moment and lightly brush their shoulders against the ground, stopping just short of certain death.

Good dives ostensibly, the ones where people survive supposedly ensure a bountiful yam harvest. The event is now a tourist attraction and is considered the progenitor to modern bungee jumping, only without any safety features whatsoever ... unless you count forest vines. The country has tried to get royalties from adventure companies that apparently ripped off the practice.

As the planet warms due to climate change, rising seas are encroaching on Oceania's islands. One Polynesian island, named Tuvalu, about halfway between Australia and Hawaii is, as the locals say, "sinking."

As the waters rise, the beaches are slipping under the waves, slowly devouring this small island. Crops fail to thrive in the salty soil. Climate change-related illnesses (like ciguatera poisoning from consuming fish that eat micro-algaes expelled from bleached coral) are increasing. Tuvalu is home to 11,000 people and is the fourth-smallest country on Earth. But it may not be home to anyone in the next 50 to 100 years, or perhaps even sooner. The island of Kiribati is also "disappearing."

Oceania is home to dozens of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sites meet stringent criteria for their importance in relation to cultural, natural or historical landmarks.

In that regard, Oceania contains an embarrassment of riches. Here, you'll find UNESCO World Heritage sites like Australia's famed (and dying) Great Barrier Reef, Hawaii's Mauna Loa (the largest active volcano on the planet), the Auckland Islands, the Sydney Opera House and Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

And how about Mount Cook National Park, which protects New Zealand's tallest mountain? There's also Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, and the Phoenix Islands Protected Area, which preserves one of the biggest remaining oceanic wildernesses on Earth.

Due to its sheer sprawling size, Oceania includes millions of people living in starkly different circumstances. Australia and New Zealand both land in the top 10 of the United Nations Human Development Index, which shows where countries rank according to standard of living, life expectancy and other factors.

Near the bottom of the list lie Kiribati, Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. These are some of what the U.N. calls the Least Developed Countries. For example, the gross domestic product per capita in Australia is more than $51,000 while in the Solomon Islands it is around $2,400. New Zealanders can expect to live past 82 years on average; on Vanuatu, the average is 70 years.

9 Deep-diving Facts About the Lands of Oceania - HowStuffWorks

Gold Coast (Australia) - The Tournament Coaches Course (TCC) for female coaches concluded the 7-session workshop designed to develop future mentors and coaches in the Oceania region.

The course was completed with a Scouting Module presentation by Katrina Hibbert and was attended by Jessica Olson (Marshall Islands), Arleen Mad (Guam), Derin Stinnett (Guam), Keziah Lewis (Cook Islands), Richelle Gempton (Cook Islands), Lanieta Baleiono (Fiji), Lysa Wini (Solomon Islands), Pualele Craig (Samoa) and Natsumi Wiainebengo (New Caledonia).

"We want to thank all our participants for joining in the activities and also handling your weekly tasks to us. It's been an amazing journey and we hope to continue again soon," shared FIBA Oceania Development Manager, Annie La Fleur.

La Fleur spearheaded the webinar sessions and was supported by various esteemed female mentors that supported deliver the course over the last two months.

"We were so excited about this project and even from coaching for a long time and listening to other presenters as well, the course reinforces us that we are on the right track," shared guest presenter Lori Chizik, who discussed "Planning" in the first session.

"The big thing about coaching is building your network and it's really important to share your knowledge and help each other grow," she added.

In the final session, Fordham University Women's Basketball Assistant Coach and current Fiji national team player Valeria Nainima was invited to partake in the session with the group had encouraging statements regarding the course.

"I want to thank everyone for inviting me to this course and for taking up this advocacy of growing the game for future female coaches in the Pacific. I have learned a lot as well, I was so excited to join even if it's just for one session," Nainima said.

Nainima, who regularly scouts in the FIBA Oceania Youth Championships for the Fordham Rams reiterated her commitment to Pacific basketball and vowed to put more emphasis on international recruiting within the region.

"My passion is with Pacific basketball and always has been, this is where I learned my work ethic. We usually don't have resources, so we learn to work with what we have and tend to work harder than others," she said.

"We are very big in international recruiting and one of the things we can teach our Pacific players in the fundamentals to help develop their skills," she added.

The session ended with a thematic discussion and everyone involved praised the workshop and how it has encouraged them tobuild this network with each other.

"I enjoyed getting to know everyone over Zoom and hopefully we get to meet in person soon. I enjoyed the topics and I liked how different the tasks and how it has allowed us to grow each week," shared Olson.

"Thank you so much, everyone, it's kind of lonely because most of the time I am the only female coach in a tournament. This is inspiring for me, I feel like I am on the right track and there's a validation in this group it's exciting and nice to know I am not alone," Arlene shared.

Le Fleur and the group decided to keep in touch intermittently to check up on each other's progress and continue to build their relationships with each other.

"I am looking forward to us having meetings from time to time so we can all share the things we are doing to continue to inspire each other and lead the way in showing the importance of Women in Basketball," La Fleur ended.
