The returns on capital of Compagnie de l’Odet (EPA: ODET) stalled

There are a few key trends to look for if we are to identify the next multi-bagger. A common approach is to try to find a business with Return on capital employed (ROCE) which increases, in connection with growth quantity capital employed. Basically, it means that a business has profitable initiatives that it can keep reinvesting in, which is a hallmark of a dialing machine. That said, from the first glance at Odet Company (EPA: ODET) We’re not jumping from our chairs on the yield trend, but taking a closer look.

What is Return on Employee Capital (ROCE)?

If you’ve never worked with ROCE before, it measures the “return” (profit before tax) that a business generates on capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on the Compagnie de l’Odet is:

Return on capital employed = Profit before interest and taxes (EBIT) ÷ (Total assets – Current liabilities)

0.047 = € 1.9bn ÷ (€ 58bn – € 17bn) (Based on the last twelve months up to June 2021).

Therefore, Compagnie de l’Odet posted a ROCE of 4.7%. At the end of the day, that’s a low yield and it’s below the logistics industry average of 14%.

So, what is the evolution of the ROCE of the Compagnie de l’Odet?

The profitability of capital has not changed much for Compagnie de l’Odet in recent years. Over the past five years, ROCE has remained relatively stable at around 4.7% and the company has deployed 227% additional capital in its operations. This low ROCE does not inspire confidence at the moment, and with the increase in capital employed, it is evident that the company is not deploying the funds in high return investments.

The bottom line

In conclusion, the Compagnie de l’Odet invested more capital in the company, but the returns on this capital did not increase. Given that the stock has gained an impressive 74% over the past five years, investors must think there are better things to come. However, unless these underlying trends turned more positive, our hopes would not be too high.
