Sure Global Tech (TADAWUL:9550) Knows How To Allocate Capital
There are a few key trends to look for if we want to identify the next multi-bagger. Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. Ergo, when we looked at the ROCE trends at Sure Global Tech (TADAWUL:9550), we liked what we saw.
Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)
If you haven't worked with ROCE before, it measures the 'return' (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Sure Global Tech is:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.26 = ر.س35m ÷ (ر.س223m - ر.س90m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2025).
Therefore, Sure Global Tech has an ROCE of 26%. On its own that's a fantastic return on capital, though it's the same as the IT industry average of 26%.

How Are Returns Trending?
We'd be pretty happy with returns on capital like Sure Global Tech. The company has employed 101% more capital in the last five years, and the returns on that capital have remained stable at 26%. With returns that high, it's great that the business can continually reinvest its money at such appealing rates of return. If these trends can continue, it wouldn't surprise us if the company became a multi-bagger.
On a side note, Sure Global Tech's current liabilities are still rather high at 40% of total assets. This can bring about some risks because the company is basically operating with a rather large reliance on its suppliers or other sorts of short-term creditors. Ideally we'd like to see this reduce as that would mean fewer obligations bearing risks.
In Conclusion...
In summary, we're delighted to see that Sure Global Tech has been compounding returns by reinvesting at consistently high rates of return, as these are common traits of a multi-bagger. However, over the last three years, the stock has only delivered a 22% return to shareholders who held over that period. So to determine if Sure Global Tech is a multi-bagger going forward, we'd suggest digging deeper into the company's other fundamentals.
