Why We Like The Returns At Jentech Precision Industrial (TWSE:3653)
There are a few key trends to look for if we want to identify the next multi-bagger. One common approach is to try and find a company with returns on capital employed (ROCE) that are increasing, in conjunction with a growing amount of capital employed. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. And in light of that, the trends we're seeing at Jentech Precision Industrial's (TWSE:3653) look very promising so lets take a look.
What Is 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 Jentech Precision Industrial:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.23 = NT$3.1b ÷ (NT$18b - NT$4.8b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2024).
Thus, Jentech Precision Industrial has an ROCE of 23%. That's a fantastic return and not only that, it outpaces the average of 8.8% earned by companies in a similar industry.
