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. With that in mind, we've noticed some promising trends at TETRA Technologies (NYSE:TTI) so let's look a bit deeper.
Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What Is It?
For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. The formula for this calculation on TETRA Technologies is:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.12 = US$44m ÷ (US$491m - US$118m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2024).
Therefore, TETRA Technologies has an ROCE of 12%. By itself that's a normal return on capital and it's in line with the industry's average returns of 12%.

In regards to capital employed, TETRA Technologies appears to been achieving more with less, since the business is using 70% less capital to run its operation. TETRA Technologies may be selling some assets so it's worth investigating if the business has plans for future investments to increase returns further still.
