JP Morgan Highlights ROCE's Growing Role in Valuing EMS Companies
JP Morgan's report suggests investors may increasingly value electronics manufacturing services (EMS) companies based on return on capital employed (ROCE) alongside earnings growth. Firms with similar earnings but higher ROCE could command premium valuations due to the sector's capital-intensive nature and high working capital needs. The report highlights that investor focus on ROCE may intensify if earnings miss expectations, growth slows, or working capital remains elevated, potentially affecting free cash flows. Interest in semiconductor opportunities has also supported valuations in parts of the EMS sector.
