Share
Listen to the news

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. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. However, after briefly looking over the numbers, we don't think Jinxin Fertility Group (HKG:1951) has the makings of a multi-bagger going forward, but let's have a look at why that may be.

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 Jinxin Fertility Group is:

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

0.037 = CN¥472m ÷ (CN¥15b - CN¥2.2b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2024).

So, Jinxin Fertility Group has an ROCE of 3.7%. In absolute terms, that's a low return and it also under-performs the Healthcare industry average of 8.2%.

How Are Returns Trending?

On the surface, the trend of ROCE at Jinxin Fertility Group doesn't inspire confidence. Around five years ago the returns on capital were 5.5%, but since then they've fallen to 3.7%. Although, given both revenue and the amount of assets employed in the business have increased, it could suggest the company is investing in growth, and the extra capital has led to a short-term reduction in ROCE. If these investments prove successful, this can bode very well for long term stock performance.

The Bottom Line On Jinxin Fertility Group's ROCE

In summary, despite lower returns in the short term, we're encouraged to see that Jinxin Fertility Group is reinvesting for growth and has higher sales as a result. Despite these promising trends, the stock has collapsed 76% over the last five years, so there could be other factors hurting the company's prospects. Therefore, we'd suggest researching the stock further to uncover more about the business.
