Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. With that in mind, the ROCE of Wesfarmers ASX:WES ) looks attractive right now, so lets see what the trend of returns can tell us. Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What Is It? If you haven't worked with ROCE before, it measures the 'return' (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Wesfarmers is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.20 = AU$3.8b ÷ (AU$27b - AU$8.5b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2023) Thus, Wesfarmers has an ROCE of 20%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the Multiline Retail industry average of 9.7%. See our lates
