If we want to find a potential multi-bagger, often there are underlying trends that can provide clues. Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base 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. However, after investigating Yongjin Technology Group (SHSE:603995), we don't think it's current trends fit the mold of a multi-bagger.

Understanding 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. The formula for this calculation on Yongjin Technology Group is:

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

0.094 = CN¥753m ÷ (CN¥12b - CN¥4.5b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2023).

Therefore, Yongjin Technology Group has an ROCE of 9.4%. On its own that's a low return, but compared to the average of 6.2% generated by the Metals and Mining industry, it's much better.

The Trend Of ROCE

On the surface, the trend of ROCE at Yongjin Technology Group doesn't inspire confidence. To be more specific, ROCE has fallen from 29% over the last five years. However it looks like Yongjin Technology Group might be reinvesting for long term growth because while capital employed has increased, the company's sales haven't changed much in the last 12 months. It may take some time before the company starts to see any change in earnings from these investments.

The Bottom Line On Yongjin Technology Group's ROCE

In summary, Yongjin Technology Group is reinvesting funds back into the business for growth but unfortunately it looks like sales haven't increased much just yet. And investors appear hesitant that the trends will pick up because the stock has fallen 25% in the last three years. All in all, the inherent trends aren't typical of multi-baggers, so if that's what you're after, we think you might have more luck elsewhere.
