How companies can create value consist of 2 things, growth and ROIC. In this case, both companies have decent ROE, ROIC would have been higher because of the cash. But growth have been slow or flat so it would makes more sense to growth their revenue even at the expense of lower ROE/ROIC.
Merely buying a company that is expanding might not be a good investment. The key is whether or not the share price already factors in the company expansion plan. A company that is expanding, and everyone knew the company is expanding, the share price normally will not be cheap. Eg airasia, they are expanding their business regionally, people knew it, shares price already bloated make it a bad investment choice. Plus their strategy is budget airlines, even they become bigger, they will want to sacrifice their profit in exchange for greater competitiveness no matter how big they grow. So even they are expanding, their profit growth might not be as strong as revenue growth.
