The Compounding Quality email is always the first one I look at among the new mails in the inbox. However I am struggeling with some of the ROCE figures, e.g. 126% for SPGI or 133% for ADP. Could you please explain in one example how this has been calculated? Best regards

Hi Ralf,

I pulled these data from Bloomberg.

In general, it's really important to understand that figures like ROCE can be calculated in different ways. Some prefer to exclude cash and/or goodwill for example.

When I do the calculations myself, I use this formula:

ROCE = NOPAT / Capital Employed

Wherein Capital Employed = fixed assets + current assets - current liabilities

CQ,

Item number one blows my mind. The more I think about it, the more I appreciate the wisdom in it.

"Spend your health, wealth and time wisely" should be everyone's mantra in life.

Thank you kindly for the "100 Examples of Quality Stocks" course! You always have something to teach and share with your readers!

🙏

"The difference between failure and success is often just staying with a problem a little longer.

One more rep.

One more step.

One more minute.

One more revision.

One more attempt.

The difference between average and outstanding is often just one more."

We got this, Pavel!
