Navistar International: Return On Capital Employed Insights

Author: Benzinga Insights | July 01, 2021 10:56am

Navistar International (NYSE:NAV) showed a loss in earnings since Q1, totaling $33.00 million. Sales, on the other hand, increased by 19.32% to $2.16 billion during Q2. In Q1, Navistar International brought in $1.81 billion in sales but lost $36.00 million in earnings.

Why ROCE Is Significant

Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in Navistar International's Return on Capital Employed, a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Generally, a higher ROCE suggests successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. In Q2, Navistar International posted an ROCE of -0.01%.

It is important to keep in mind ROCE evaluates past performance and is not used as a predictive tool. It is a good measure of a company's recent performance, but several factors could affect earnings and sales in the near future.

Return on Capital Employed is an important measurement of efficiency and a useful tool when comparing companies that operate in the same industry. A relatively high ROCE indicates a company may be generating profits that can be reinvested into more capital, leading to higher returns and growing EPS for shareholders.

In Navistar International's case, the ROCE ratio shows the amount of assets may not be helping the company achieve higher returns. Investors may take this into account before making any long-term financial decisions.

Q2 Earnings Recap

Navistar International reported Q2 earnings per share at $0.72/share, which did not meet analyst predictions of $0.72/share.
