There are a few key trends to look for if we want to identify the next 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. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. So when we looked at Zhejiang Yilida VentilatorLtd (SZSE:002686) and its trend of ROCE, we really liked what we saw.

What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?

For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Zhejiang Yilida VentilatorLtd is:

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

0.021 = CN¥39m ÷ (CN¥3.0b - CN¥1.1b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024).

So, Zhejiang Yilida VentilatorLtd has an ROCE of 2.1%. Ultimately, that's a low return and it under-performs the Building industry average of 7.3%.

Shareholders will be relieved that Zhejiang Yilida VentilatorLtd has broken into profitability. While the business was unprofitable in the past, it's now turned things around and is earning 2.1% on its capital. While returns have increased, the amount of capital employed by Zhejiang Yilida VentilatorLtd has remained flat over the period. 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.

In Conclusion...

As discussed above, Zhejiang Yilida VentilatorLtd appears to be getting more proficient at generating returns since capital employed has remained flat but earnings (before interest and tax) are up.
