If you're not sure where to start when looking for the next multi-bagger, there are a few key trends you should keep an eye out for. Ideally, a business will show two trends; firstly a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an increasing amount of capital employed. This shows us that it's a compounding machine, able to continually reinvest its earnings back into the business and generate higher returns. That's why when we briefly looked at Danel (Adir Yeoshua)'s (TLV:DANE) ROCE trend, we were very happy with what we saw.
Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)
If you haven't worked with ROCE before, it measures the 'return' (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Danel (Adir Yeoshua) is:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.30 = ₪155m ÷ (₪862m - ₪348m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2020).
Therefore, Danel (Adir Yeoshua) has an ROCE of 30%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the Professional Services industry average of 13%.

What The Trend Of ROCE Can Tell Us
Danel (Adir Yeoshua) deserves to be commended in regards to it's returns. The company has employed 120% more capital in the last five years, and the returns on that capital have remained stable at 30%. Returns like this are the envy of most businesses and given it has repeatedly reinvested at these rates, that's even better. If these trends can continue, it wouldn't surprise us if the company became a multi-bagger.
Another thing to note, Danel (Adir Yeoshua) has a high ratio of current liabilities to total assets of 40%. This can bring about some risks because the company is basically operating with a rather large reliance on its suppliers or other sorts of short-term creditors. Ideally we'd like to see this reduce as that would mean fewer obligations bearing risks.In Conclusion...
In the end, the company has proven it can reinvest it's capital at high rates of returns, which you'll remember is a trait of a multi-bagger. On top of that, the stock has rewarded shareholders with a remarkable 486% return to those who've held over the last five years. So while the positive underlying trends may be accounted for by investors, we still think this stock is worth looking into further.
