KHD Humboldt Wedag International (ETR:KWG) Might Have The Makings Of A Multi-Bagger
Finding a business that has the potential to grow substantially is not easy, but it is possible if we look at a few key financial metrics. Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. If you see this, it typically means it's a company with a great business model and plenty of profitable reinvestment opportunities. So on that note, KHD Humboldt Wedag International (ETR:KWG) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. 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. To calculate this metric for KHD Humboldt Wedag International, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.076 = €10m ÷ (€255m - €121m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). Therefore, KHD Humboldt Wedag International has an ROCE of 7.6%. On its own, that's a low figure but it's around the 8.6% average generated by the Machinery industry. Check out our latest analysis for KHD Humboldt Wedag International While the past is not representative of the future, it can be helpful to know how a company has performed historically, which is why we have this chart above. If you're interested in investigating KHD Humboldt Wedag International's past further, check out this free graph covering KHD Humboldt Wedag International's past earnings, revenue and cash flow. KHD Humboldt Wedag International has broken into the black (profitability) and we're sure it's a sight for sore eyes. While the business was unprofitable in the past, it's now turned things around and is earning 7.6% on its capital. Interestingly, the capital employed by the business has remained relatively flat, so these higher returns are either from prior investments paying off or increased efficiencies. That being said, while an increase in efficiency is no doubt appealing, it'd be helpful to know if the company does have any investment plans going forward. Because in the end, a business can only get so efficient. On a separate but related note, it's important to know that KHD Humboldt Wedag International has a current liabilities to total assets ratio of 48%, which we'd consider pretty high. This can bring about some risks because the company is basically operating with a rather large reliance on its suppliers or other sorts of short-term creditors. Ideally we'd like to see this reduce as that would mean fewer obligations bearing risks. As discussed above, KHD Humboldt Wedag International appears to be getting more proficient at generating returns since capital employed has remained flat but earnings (before interest and tax) are up. Investors may not be impressed by the favorable underlying trends yet because over the last five years the stock has only returned 34% to shareholders. So exploring more about this stock could uncover a good opportunity, if the valuation and other metrics stack up. Before jumping to any conclusions though, we need to know what value we're getting for the current share price. That's where you can check out our that compares the share price and estimated value.
