Despite China South Publishing & Media Group's ROCE exceeding industry average, stagnant returns and capital employed over the past five years hint it may not be a potential multi-bagger. High-growth stock seekers may need to look elsewhere.

China South Publishing's low P/E stems from an expectation of its forecasted growth lagging the wider market. Investors may feel uneasy due to the insignificant potential for earnings improvement.

The decline in EPS and rise in share price hint at future business expansion and profitability. The higher TSR from dividends denotes positive returns for shareholders. Recent gains may signal business momentum, worth investigating the stock further.
