Everlight Electronics (TWSE:2393) Might Have The Makings Of A Multi-Bagger

Did you know there are some financial metrics that can provide clues of a potential multi-bagger? Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. So when we looked at Everlight Electronics (TWSE:2393) and its trend of ROCE, we really liked 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. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Everlight Electronics:

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

0.12 = NT$2.5b ÷ (NT$29b - NT$7.7b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024).

So, Everlight Electronics has an ROCE of 12%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Semiconductor industry average of 9.3% it's much better.
