Zensar Technologies (NSE:ZENSARTECH) Might Have The Makings Of A Multi-Bagger

If we want to find a potential multi-bagger, often there are underlying trends that can provide clues. Ideally, a business will show two trends; firstly a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an increasing 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. So on that note, Zensar Technologies (NSE:ZENSARTECH) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital.

Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)

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 Zensar Technologies is:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)

0.17 = ₹7.7b ÷ (₹54b - ₹9.3b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2025).

Therefore, Zensar Technologies has an ROCE of 17%. That's a pretty standard return and it's in line with the industry average of 17%.
