Cardinal Resources Limited (ASX:CDV)
Cardinal Resources Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the exploration and development of mineral properties in Ghana. The company size now stands at 117 people and with the company’s market capitalisation at AUD A$187.54M, we can put it in the small-cap category.
Driven by exceptional sales, which is expected to more than double over the next few years, CDV is expected to deliver an excellent earnings growth of 65.32%. An affirming signal is when net income increase is supported by top-line growth. Since net income isn’t artificially inflated by one-off initiatives such as cost-cutting, we know this profit growth is more likely to be sustainable.
