【a taste of camarillo】The Returns At Treatt (LON:TET) Provide Us With Signs Of What's To Come
Thea taste of camarillore are a few key trends to look for if we want to identify the next multi-bagger. Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing
return
on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing
base
of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. However, after investigating
Treatt
(
LON:TET
), we don't think it's current trends fit the mold of a multi-bagger.
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. To calculate this metric for Treatt, this is the formula:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.13 = UK£13m ÷ (UK£139m - UK£37m)
(Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2020)
.
Thus,
Treatt has an ROCE of 13%.
In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Chemicals industry average of 6.4% it's much better.

What Does the ROCE Trend For Treatt Tell Us?
On the surface, the trend of ROCE at Treatt doesn't inspire confidence. Over the last five years, returns on capital have decreased to 13% from 17% five years ago. On the other hand, the company has been employing more capital without a corresponding improvement in sales in the last year, which could suggest these investments are longer term plays. It may take some time before the company starts to see any change in earnings from these investments.
Our Take On Treatt's ROCE
To conclude, we've found that Treatt is reinvesting in the business, but returns have been falling. Investors must think there's better things to come because the stock has knocked it out of the park, delivering a 336% gain to shareholders who have held over the last five years. Ultimately, if the underlying trends persist, we wouldn't hold our breath on it being a multi-bagger going forward.
