Sustainable Growth Rate

Trading Term

The sustainable growth rate estimates how quickly a company can expand while maintaining its existing profitability, dividend policy, and financial leverage. A common calculation multiplies return on equity by the earnings retention ratio.

Actual growth may exceed the estimated rate through new debt, equity issuance, or improved efficiency. The measure is therefore a framework for evaluating financing requirements rather than a fixed limit.
