**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** ** Rückblick auf Kapitalbeschäftigte (ROCE)* * Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) ist eine Metrik, die die Fähigkeit eines Unternehmens misst, Profit aus seinem investierten Kapital zu generieren. Es wird berechnet, indem der Vorsteuergewinn (EBIT) durch die gesamten Vermögenswerte abzüglich der laufenden Verbindlichkeiten geteilt wird. Die Formel ist: Return on Capital Employed = EBIT ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) ** RÜCK der RÜCKEN Gruppe** Für RS Group (LON:RS1) beträgt die ROCE 12%, was für die Händlerindustrie relativ normal ist. Das Ergebnis des Unternehmens vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) für die folgenden zwölf Monate bis März 2025 lag bei 237 Mio. Pfund und die gesamten Aktiva abzüglich der laufenden Verbindlichkeiten bei 2,6 Mrd. Pfund. **Historischer ROCE Trend* * Die ROCE der RS Group ist in den letzten fünf Jahren rückläufig, von 20% in fünf Jahren auf 12% derzeit. Das Unternehmen hat mehr Kapital verwendet, aber dies hat nicht zu erheblichen Umsatzsteigerungen geführt. **Key Takeaways** * Die ROCE der RS Group ist nicht besonders hoch, ca. 12% * Das Unternehmen reinvestiert Gewinne zu steigenden Renditeraten * Während die Renditen schrumpfen, ist die Gesamtrendite der Aktien in den letzten fünf Jahren flach * RS Group könnte zu einem attraktiven Preis in anderer Hinsicht handeln **Ausschluss* * Basierend auf der Analyse scheint die RS-Gruppe kein Multibagger zu sein, da sie keine hohe ROCE hat und die Renditen schrumpfen. Die Reinvestition des Unternehmens in sein Geschäft kann jedoch einen positiven Trend anzeigen. Investoren können andere Unternehmen mit höheren ROCEs berücksichtigen wollen. **Intrinsische Werteschätzung* Auf der Plattform für RS Group wird eine kostenlose Intrinsic-Wertschätzung bereitgestellt, die verschiedene Faktoren wie die Finanzleistung, die Branchentrends und die Wachstumsaussichten berücksichtigt. ** Haftungsausschluss* * Dieser Artikel ist nur zu allgemeinen Informationszwecken und sollte nicht als Finanzberatung betrachtet werden.

03.07.25 11:53:35 The three-year loss for RS Group (LON:RS1) shareholders likely driven by its shrinking earnings
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** For many investors, the main point of stock picking is to generate higher returns than the overall market. But the risk of stock picking is that you will likely buy under-performing companies. We regret to report that long term RS Group plc (LON:RS1) shareholders have had that experience, with the share price dropping 31% in three years, versus a market return of about 30%. The recent uptick of 4.2% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals. 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. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). During the three years that the share price fell, RS Group's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 13% each year. This change in EPS is reasonably close to the 12% average annual decrease in the share price. So it seems that investor expectations of the company are staying pretty steady, despite the disappointment. In this case, it seems that the EPS is guiding the share price. The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).LSE:RS1 Earnings Per Share Growth July 3rd 2025 It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here.. What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for RS Group the TSR over the last 3 years was -25%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! A Different Perspective Investors in RS Group had a tough year, with a total loss of 15% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 9.1%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 0.3%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. Investors who like to make money usually check up on insider purchases, such as the price paid, and total amount bought. You can find out about the insider purchases of RS Group by clicking this link. Story Continues RS Group is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this freelist of small cap companies at attractive valuations which insiders have been buying.
