AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.

Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)

For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. The formula for this calculation on DiGiSPICE Technologies is:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)

0.023 = ₹56m ÷ (₹7.3b - ₹4.9b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2025).

Therefore, DiGiSPICE Technologies has an ROCE of 2.3%. In absolute terms, that's a low return and it also under-performs the Software industry average of 11%.

What Does the ROCE Trend For DiGiSPICE Technologies Tell Us?

Shareholders will be relieved that DiGiSPICE Technologies has broken into profitability. While the business was unprofitable in the past, it's now turned things around and is earning 2.3% on its capital. On top of that, what's interesting is that the amount of capital being employed has remained steady, so the business hasn't needed to put any additional money to work to generate these higher returns. With no noticeable increase in capital employed, it's worth knowing what the company plans on doing going forward in regards to reinvesting and growing the business. Because in the end, a business can only get so efficient.

On a side note, we noticed that the improvement in ROCE appears to be partly fueled by an increase in current liabilities. Essentially the business now has suppliers or short-term creditors funding about 67% of its operations, which isn't ideal. And with current liabilities at those levels, that's pretty high.

The Bottom Line

To bring it all together, DiGiSPICE Technologies has done well to increase the returns it's generating from its capital employed. Astute investors may have an opportunity here because the stock has declined 46% in the last five years. With that in mind, we believe the promising trends warrant this stock for further investigation.
