Ergo, when we looked at the ROCE trends at Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte. de (BMV:OMAB), we liked what we saw.

What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?

For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. The formula for this calculation on Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte. de is:

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

0.34 = Mex$8.1b ÷ (Mex$27b - Mex$3.3b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024).

Thus, Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte. de has an ROCE of 34%. That's a fantastic return and not only that, it outpaces the average of 14% earned by companies in a similar industry.
