# Identifizierung des nächsten Multi-Baggers: Haupttrends und Einblicke
Einleitung
Die Suche nach dem nächsten Multibagger ist ein beliebtes Thema in der investierenden Welt. Ein Multibagger ist ein Unternehmen, das konsequent hohe Renditen auf eingesetztem Kapital (ROCE) generiert und sein Kapital mit hoher Rate erhöht, was zu explosivem Wachstum führt. In diesem Artikel diskutieren wir über die wichtigsten Trends und Erkenntnisse, die dazu beitragen können, den nächsten Multibagger zu identifizieren.
(ROCE)
ROCE ist eine entscheidende Metrik zur Bewertung der Rentabilität eines Unternehmens. Es misst den jährlichen Vorsteuergewinn eines Unternehmens gegenüber seinem eingesetzten Kapital. Ein hoher ROCE weist darauf hin, dass ein Unternehmen seine Gewinne zu steigenden Renditen reinvestiert.
Die ROCE der Sage Group Trend
Die ROCE der Sage Group ist seit zwölf Monaten bis zum März 2025 konstant hoch. Dies ist eine große Rückkehr, und es ist noch besser als der Software-Industrie Durchschnitt von 10%. Wir müssen jedoch die zugrunde liegenden Faktoren berücksichtigen, die zu diesem Trend beitragen.
oder Schlüsselanhänger
* Das Kapital der Sage Group und die Renditen auf diesem Kapital sind in den letzten fünf Jahren stabil.
* Das Unternehmen zahlt den Aktionären gegenüber 47% des Gewinns aus, was darauf hindeutet, dass es ausreichende Gewinne generiert, um in das Geschäft umzu investieren.
* Wenn die zugrunde liegenden Trends weitergehen, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass die Sage Group ein Multibagger ist gering.
Warnung Zeichen zu beobachten
Um das Potenzial der Sage Group weiter zu bewerten, haben wir zwei Warnzeichen identifiziert:
* Hoher ROCE und wachsendes Kapital.
* Abnehmender Kapitalrendite.
Schlussfolgerung
Während die Sage-Gruppe eine beeindruckende Rentabilität aus ihrem Kapital hat, unterstützen die zugrunde liegenden Tendenzen keine Kapitalerhöhung. Die ROCE und die Renditen des Unternehmens sind stabil, und der Rückgang der Renditen auf Kapitalbeschäftigte ist ein Anliegen. Diese Warnzeichen weisen darauf hin, dass die Sage-Gruppe möglicherweise kein Multibagger ist, zumindest nicht in naher Zukunft.

If EPS Growth Is Important To You, Sage Group (LON:SGE) Presents An Opportunity |
 |

**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without any revenue, let alone profit. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.
Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Sage Group (LON:SGE). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.

How Quickly Is Sage Group Increasing Earnings Per Share?
Generally, companies experiencing growth in earnings per share (EPS) should see similar trends in share price. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. Over the last three years, Sage Group has grown EPS by 9.2% per year. That's a pretty good rate, if the company can sustain it.
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. While we note Sage Group achieved similar EBIT margins to last year, revenue grew by a solid 7.7% to UK£2.4b. That's encouraging news for the company!

You don't drive with your eyes on the rear-view mirror, so you might be more interested in this freereport showing analyst forecasts for Sage Group's future profits.
Are Sage Group Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
Owing to the size of Sage Group, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a significant proportion of the company. But we are reassured by the fact they have invested in the company. To be specific, they have UK£25m worth of shares. This considerable investment should help drive long-term value in the business. Even though that's only about 0.2% of the company, it's enough money to indicate alignment between the leaders of the business and ordinary shareholders.
Should You Add Sage Group To Your Watchlist?
As previously touched on, Sage Group is a growing business, which is encouraging. If that's not enough on its own, there is also the rather notable levels of insider ownership. That combination is very appealing. So yes, we do think the stock is worth keeping an eye on. What about risks? Every company has them, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Sage Group you should know about.

There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares. But for those who consider these important metrics, we encourage you to check out companies that do have those features.

Calculating The Fair Value Of The Sage Group plc (LON:SGE) |
|
|
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
Key Insights
Sage Group's estimated fair value is UK£10.95 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Sage Group's UK£11.72 share price indicates it is trading at similar levels as its fair value estimate Our fair value estimate is 19% lower than Sage Group's analyst price target of UK£13.46
How far off is The Sage Group plc (LON:SGE) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by taking the forecast future cash flows of the company and discounting them back to today's value. One way to achieve this is by employing the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. Believe it or not, it's not too difficult to follow, as you'll see from our example!
We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. If you still have some burning questions about this type of valuation, take a look at the Simply Wall St analysis model.
We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.
The Method
We're using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company's growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) forecast
2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF (£, Millions) UK£497.6m UK£554.6m UK£626.9m UK£710.5m UK£727.8m UK£744.1m UK£761.0m UK£778.3m UK£796.0m UK£814.2m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x9 Analyst x9 Analyst x4 Analyst x2 Analyst x1 Est @ 2.24% Est @ 2.26% Est @ 2.27% Est @ 2.28% Est @ 2.29% Present Value (£, Millions) Discounted @ 8.4% UK£459 UK£472 UK£492 UK£515 UK£487 UK£459 UK£433 UK£409 UK£386 UK£364
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = UK£4.5b
Story Continues
We now need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all the future cash flows after this ten year period. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (2.3%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 8.4%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = UK£814m× (1 + 2.3%) ÷ (8.4%– 2.3%) = UK£14b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= UK£14b÷ ( 1 + 8.4%)10= UK£6.1b
The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is UK£11b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of UK£11.7, the company appears around fair value at the time of writing. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out.LSE:SGE Discounted Cash Flow April 20th 2025
Important Assumptions
Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. You don't have to agree with these inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Sage Group as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.4%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.187. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.

Next Steps:
Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Preferably you'd apply different cases and assumptions and see how they would impact the company's valuation. For example, changes in the company's cost of equity or the risk free rate can significantly impact the valuation. For Sage Group, we've compiled three additional factors you should further examine:

UK's Sage Group says Cartin to replace Howell as CFO next year |

**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
(Reuters) - British software firm Sage Group named Jacqui Cartin as its new chief financial officer on Thursday, succeeding Jonathan Howell, who will leave on December 31.
Cartin, currently the company's executive vice president group financial controller, will take over as CFO in January 2026.
Howell, who assumed the CFO role in 2018, will step down to focus on non-executive work.
During Howell's tenure, the company's stock price has more than doubled.
Sage, benefiting from a surging demand for artificial intelligence, had previously forecast organic revenue growth of 9% or more for the year ending September.

Returns On Capital At Sage Group (LON:SGE) Have Stalled |
|
|
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
To find a multi-bagger stock, what are the underlying trends we should look for in a business? Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. So when we looked at Sage Group (LON:SGE), they do have a high ROCE, but we weren't exactly elated from how returns are trending.
Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What Is It?
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. The formula for this calculation on Sage Group is:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.20 = UK£481m ÷ (UK£3.6b - UK£1.2b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024).
Thus, Sage Group has an ROCE of 20%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the Software industry average of 10%.
See our latest analysis for Sage Group LSE:SGE Return on Capital Employed February 14th 2025
Above you can see how the current ROCE for Sage Group compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our freeanalyst report for Sage Group .
What The Trend Of ROCE Can Tell Us
Things have been pretty stable at Sage Group, with its capital employed and returns on that capital staying somewhat the same for the last five years. It's not uncommon to see this when looking at a mature and stable business that isn't re-investing its earnings because it has likely passed that phase of the business cycle. So while the current operations are delivering respectable returns, unless capital employed increases we'd be hard-pressed to believe it's a multi-bagger going forward. With fewer investment opportunities, it makes sense that Sage Group has been paying out a decent 45% of its earnings to shareholders. Unless businesses have highly compelling growth opportunities, they'll typically return some money to shareholders.
Our Take On Sage Group's ROCE
While Sage Group has impressive profitability from its capital, it isn't increasing that amount of capital. Although the market must be expecting these trends to improve because the stock has gained 89% over the last five years. However, unless these underlying trends turn more positive, we wouldn't get our hopes up too high.
Story Continues
Sage Group does have some risks though, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Sage Group that you might be interested in.

The Sage Group plc (SGGEF) Sees 27% Stock Surge, CEO Credits AI Innovation and Cost Discipline for Strong 2024 Growth |
|
|
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
We recently compiled a list of the Morgan Stanley's 15 Best European AI Stocks.In this article, we are going to take a look at where The Sage Group plc (OTC:SGGEF) stands against Morgan Stanley's other European AI stocks.
In August last year, investment bank Morgan Stanley released an investor note highlighting that even though the chaos around prominent AI firms had somewhat subsided, an AI rumbling in Europe was just about to begin. Analysts at the investment firm compared the AI buzz to historical similarities in the mid-1990s, just before the internet craze. According to Morgan Stanley analysts, European semi stocks were experiencing a tactical correction and would hit new highs in the coming months. The note further detailed that a basket of these equities, handpicked by these experts, and nicknamed AI winners, had returned close to 45% on average since January 2023, the beginning of the AI revolution. These firms had outperformed the 14% jump recorded by the MSCI Europe benchmark, per the research.
Read more about these developments by accessing 10 Best AI Data Center Stocks and 10 Buzzing AI Stocks According to Goldman Sachs.
In the months since, European AI stocks have experienced significant volatility, most recently influenced by global developments and investor sentiment. A notable event was the introduction of a low-cost AI model by Chinese startup DeepSeek, which raised concerns about the profitability of existing AI companies that rely on expensive chips and infrastructure. This led to a sharp decline in European tech stocks, with the European tech index dropping 5.8%, marking the worst decline since October 2024. However, the market showed resilience shortly after. European shares reached a record high, driven by gains in retail and utilities stocks as tensions in the tech sector subsided. European stock pickers are exploring established sectors such as utilities, professional data providers, and even copper miners to tap into the next wave of AI advancements. This approach reflects a strategic shift towards industries that can support and benefit from AI infrastructure and applications.

(Reuters) -Britain's Sage Group on Thursday maintained its revenue forecast for fiscal 2025 after the software firm posted 10% growth in first-quarter underlying revenue, driven by higher demand, especially in North America, its fastest growing region.
The company has invested heavily in cloud services in recent years and it is now counting on surging demand for artificial intelligence products and services to deploy generative AI in its offerings to help small business owners.
"Sage has made a strong start to the year, achieving broad-based revenue growth in line with expectations, despite the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty," Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Howell said in a statement.
The company, whose accountancy software is used by millions of small businesses, rolled out its "Sage Copilot" generative AI-powered assistant in December.
The model can help businesses track various tasks and even automate some items.
The launch and rising popularity of a free AI assistant by Chinese startup DeepSeek, which claims to use less data at a fraction of current costs, has prompted investors to dump tech stocks globally this week.
Still, shares of FTSE 100 component Sage are up 5% so far this year.
The stock had been hovering around record highs in recent weeks, with most analysts bullish on Sage, citing attractive earnings growth prospects and progress in rolling out generative AI copilots.
Sage had previously forecast organic total revenue growth of 9% or above for the year ending September.
That compares with analysts' estimate of 9.2%, according to a company-compiled consensus.
The company posted underlying total revenue of 612 million pounds ($760.84 million) for the three months ended Dec. 31, with North America reporting growth of 11%
($1 = 0.8044 pounds)
