To find a multi-bagger stock, what are the underlying trends we should look for in a business? 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. If you see this, it typically means it's a company with a great business model and plenty of profitable reinvestment opportunities. Speaking of which, we noticed some great changes in Shanghai Zhongyida's (SHSE:900906) returns on capital, so let's have a look.
What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?
Just to clarify if you're unsure, ROCE is a metric for evaluating how much pre-tax income (in percentage terms) a company earns on the capital invested in its business. To calculate this metric for Shanghai Zhongyida, this is the formula:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.11 = CN¥105m ÷ (CN¥1.2b - CN¥246m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2022).
Thus, Shanghai Zhongyida has an ROCE of 11%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Machinery industry average of 6.6% it's much better.

This tells us that Shanghai Zhongyida has grown its returns without a reliance on increasing their current liabilities, which we're very happy with.
