QPM Energy (ASX:QPM) Shareholders Will Want The ROCE Trajectory To Continue
If we want to find a potential multi-bagger, often there are underlying trends that can provide clues. 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. So on that note, QPM Energy (ASX:QPM) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. 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. To calculate this metric for QPM Energy, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.19 = AU$25m ÷ (AU$231m - AU$101m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). So, QPM Energy has an ROCE of 19%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Metals and Mining industry average of 8.3% it's much better. Check out our latest analysis for QPM Energy Above you can see how the current ROCE for QPM Energy compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for QPM Energy . We're delighted to see that QPM Energy is reaping rewards from its investments and is now generating some pre-tax profits. Shareholders would no doubt be pleased with this because the business was loss-making five years ago but is is now generating 19% on its capital. And unsurprisingly, like most companies trying to break into the black, QPM Energy is utilizing 5,888% more capital than it was five years ago. This can tell us that the company has plenty of reinvestment opportunities that are able to generate higher returns. For the record though, there was a noticeable increase in the company's current liabilities over the period, so we would attribute some of the ROCE growth to that. The current liabilities has increased to 44% of total assets, so the business is now more funded by the likes of its suppliers or short-term creditors. Given it's pretty high ratio, we'd remind investors that having current liabilities at those levels can bring about some risks in certain businesses. To the delight of most shareholders, QPM Energy has now broken into profitability. And a remarkable 200% total return over the last five years tells us that investors are expecting more good things to come in the future. In light of that, we think it's worth looking further into this stock because if QPM Energy can keep these trends up, it could have a bright future ahead. QPM Energy does come with some risks though, we found 5 warning signs in our investment analysis, and 2 of those are a bit concerning...

Investing in QPM Energy (ASX:QPM) five years ago would have delivered you a 233% gain
QPM Energy Limited (ASX:QPM) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 14% in the last month. But in stark contrast, the returns over the last half decade have impressed. It's fair to say most would be happy with 233% the gain in that time. To some, the recent pullback wouldn't be surprising after such a fast rise. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap now. Unfortunately not all shareholders will have held it for five years, so spare a thought for those caught in the 66% decline over the last three years: that's a long time to wait for profits. Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business. Check out our latest analysis for QPM Energy QPM Energy isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size. For the last half decade, QPM Energy can boast revenue growth at a rate of 99% per year. Even measured against other revenue-focussed companies, that's a good result. So it's not entirely surprising that the share price reflected this performance by increasing at a rate of 27% per year, in that time. So it seems likely that buyers have paid attention to the strong revenue growth. To our minds that makes QPM Energy worth investigating - it may have its best days ahead. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. We're pleased to report that QPM Energy shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 19% over one year. However, that falls short of the 27% TSR per annum it has made for shareholders, each year, over five years. The pessimistic view would be that be that the stock has its best days behind it, but on the other hand the price might simply be moderating while the business itself continues to execute. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for QPM Energy you should be aware of. But note: QPM Energy may not be the best stock to buy.
