Here's What To Make Of Vipshop Holdings' (NYSE:VIPS) Decelerating Rates Of Return
What trends should we look for it we want to identify stocks that can multiply in value over the long term? Amongst other things, we'll want to see two things; firstly, a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an expansion in the company's amount 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. That's why when we briefly looked at Vipshop Holdings' (NYSE:VIPS) ROCE trend, we were pretty happy with what we saw. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. 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. The formula for this calculation on Vipshop Holdings is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.19 = CN¥8.5b ÷ (CN¥75b - CN¥29b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). Thus, Vipshop Holdings has an ROCE of 19%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Multiline Retail industry average of 11% it's much better. Check out our latest analysis for Vipshop Holdings In the above chart we have measured Vipshop Holdings' prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for Vipshop Holdings . While the returns on capital are good, they haven't moved much. The company has consistently earned 19% for the last five years, and the capital employed within the business has risen 75% in that time. 19% is a pretty standard return, and it provides some comfort knowing that Vipshop Holdings has consistently earned this amount. Over long periods of time, returns like these might not be too exciting, but with consistency they can pay off in terms of share price returns. In the end, Vipshop Holdings has proven its ability to adequately reinvest capital at good rates of return. Yet over the last five years the stock has declined 25%, so the decline might provide an opening. For that reason, savvy investors might want to look further into this company in case it's a prime investment. While Vipshop Holdings doesn't shine too bright in this respect, it's still worth seeing if the company is trading at attractive prices. You can find that out with our on our platform. While Vipshop Holdings isn't earning the highest return, check out this free list of companies that are earning high returns on equity with solid balance sheets. Have feedback on this article?

Mali takes control of Canadian-owned Barrick Gold mine over tax dispute
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A judge in Mali on Monday ordered Barrick Gold's Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex to be placed under provisional administration for six months in an ongoing dispute between the Canadian mining company and the West African nation's military government over unpaid taxes. Zoumana Makadji, an accountant and a former Malian minister of health has been appointed as the company's provisional administrator within 15 days, Judge Issa Aguibou Diallo said in a statement to Barrick's lawyers. Barrick's website said the company is Africa's largest gold producer through its Loulo-Gounkoto complex and Kibali mine located in Congo. Barrick Gold has been in conflict with Mali's military rulers over alleged unpaid taxes and unfair contracts with past governments. The dispute culminated in an arrest warrant in December for Barrick CEO Mark Bristow and the company's offer to pay $370 million to the government. 'While Barrick's subsidiaries remain the legal owners of the mine, operational control has been transferred to an external administrator,' Barrick said in a statement on its website following the ruling. In December, Barrick submitted a request for arbitration to the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes to address disagreements with Mali concerning the Loulo-Gounkoto complex, where the mines are located. Despite this, the government took a series of escalatory measures, including the arrest of Barrick Gold employees, who remain detained, and the suspension of gold exports. Barrick, which has been present in Mali for three decades, emphasized that the arbitration process was still ongoing and reaffirmed its commitment to 'engaging with the government of Mali, in parallel, to identify a constructive, mutually acceptable solution.' The company's statement on Monday added: "The ongoing detention of (our) employees — who remain unjustly imprisoned and used as leverage in this process — is deeply concerning and inconsistent with the trust, transparency and accountability required for a genuine long-term partnership. 'To date, no credible rationale has been presented to justify this detention and the Government's position, and the Government's ever-increasing demands have lacked both factual and legal foundation.' Mali is one of Africa's leading gold producers, but it has struggled for years with jihadi violence and high levels of poverty and hunger. The military seized power in 2020, and the government has placed foreign mining companies under growing pressure as it seeks to shore up revenues. In November, the CEO of Australian company Resolute Mining and two employees were arrested in Bamako. They were released after the company paid $80 million to Malian authorities to resolve a tax dispute and promised to pay a further $80 million in the coming months.

World's most liveable city for 2025 revealed
It's official. Vienna is no longer the most liveable city in the world. After a three-year run at the top of the annual list from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the Austrian capital has been beaten out by 'Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen.' Denmark's capital has taken the number one spot on the ranking of the world's most liveable cities for 2025, which was released on Tuesday. The EIU, a sister organization to The Economist magazine, ranked 173 cities around the world on a number of factors, including healthcare, education, stability, infrastructure and environment. Copenhagen triumphed after receiving 'perfect' scores for stability, education and infrastructure, while Vienna tied for second place with Swiss city Zurich. Australia's Melbourne retained its fourth place spot, while Switzerland's Geneva was fifth on the list. Just outside of the top five, Sydney, Australia moved up the list, jumping from joint seventh place to sixth, while Japanese city Osaka and New Zealand's Auckland tied for seventh place. In ninth place, Adelaide was the third Australian city to make the top 10, while Canada's Vancouver took the number 10 slot. So why did Vienna fail to come out on top this year? Although the Austrian city scored well in most categories, its score in the stability category fell significantly, while Copenhagen scored highly in all sections. The 'sharp decline' in Vienna's stability score was attributed to recent incidents, including a bomb threat at a Taylor Swift concert last summer, which led to the event being canceled. 'Global liveability has remained flat over the past year, and as in 2024, scores for stability have declined at a global level,' Barsali Bhattacharyya, deputy industry director at EIU, said in a statement. 'Pressure on stability has led Vienna to lose its position as the most liveable city after a three-year stint.' However, Vienna wasn't the only city that received lower marks for a category it had previously scored well in. Calgary, which took fifth place in 2024, dropped out of the top 10 this year, falling to 18th after receiving a lower healthcare score, along with three fellow Canadian cities, due to a 'strain' on the country's healthcare system. Toronto also placed lower this year, as a result, falling from 12th to 16th place. 'That's really just reflecting the long waiting lists for medical checkups,' Bhattacharyya tells CNN Travel. 'There's been a shortage of staff at medical facilities and hospitals.' Bhattacharyya stresses that other parts of the world have also been experiencing pressures on healthcare systems and housing infrastructure, but Canada 'stood out' because of the sustained impact of these factors. 'Just to put that into context, they're still some of the most livable cities in the world,' she adds. Honolulu, Hawaii was the highest US city on the list, coming in 23rd place. 'We've seen a trend where sort of smaller or medium-sized cities in the US actually do a lot better than the really big cities like New York or LA,' explains Bhattacharyya. 'And that's largely because of the strains on public services infrastructure.' Meanwhile, UK cities London, Manchester and Edinburgh also moved down the rankings after receiving lower scores in the stability category. This follows a period of rioting and unrest in the UK last year after an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign stoked outrage over a stabbing attack in Southport, northern England. This year's list saw London drop from 45th to 54th place, Manchester from 43rd to 52nd and Edinburgh moving from 59th to 64th. 'As in 2024, stability scores have declined for western Europe and the Middle East and North Africa,' adds Bhattacharyya. 'In this edition, they have also declined for Asia, amid intensified threats of military conflict for cities in India and Taiwan.' While some destinations fell down the list, others made significant gains, with Saudi Arabia's Persian Gulf city of Al Khobar jumping 13 places from 148th to 135th. The kingdom has made considerable investments to improve healthcare and education access under Vision 2030, an extensive plan to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil. Indonesia's Jakarta also moved up the list, jumping 10 places from 142 to 132 thanks to an improvement in its stability core. Unsurprisingly, the rankings at the very bottom of the list haven't changed much in the past year, with Damascus, Syria still ranking as the least liveable in the world six months after the fall of ex-president Bashar al-Assad. Libya's Tripoli ranked just above it. Bangladesh capital Dhaka was third from bottom, while Pakistan's Karachi and Algeria's Algiers were ranked as the fourth and fifth least liveable cities. While 2024 saw global liveability rise 'fractionally,' this certainly hasn't been the case this year. 'This is because of the declines in stability,' explains Bhattacharyya. 'Because we have seen improvements in categories like healthcare and education, largely led by cities in the Middle East. But that has basically been offset by declines in stability.' 1.
