MRL’s projected future profit growth is a robust 45.83%, with an underlying 29.31% growth from its revenues expected over the upcoming years. Though some cost-cutting activities may artificially inflate margins, it appears that this isn’t solely the case here, as profit growth is also coupled with high top-line expansion. Moreover, the substantial growth of over 100% in operating cash flows shows that a decent part of earnings is driven by robust cash generation from operational activities, not one-off or non-core activities. MRL’s impressive outlook on all aspects makes it a worthy company to spend more time to understand. Thinking of investing in MRL? Take a look at its other fundamentals here.

Kenmare Resources plc (LSE:KMR)

Kenmare Resources plc, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a mining company primarily in Europe, Asia, the United States, and internationally. Established in 1972, and run by CEO Michael Carvill, the company employs 1,324 people and has a market cap of GBP £250.99M, putting it in the small-cap category.

KMR is expected to deliver a buoyant earnings growth over the next couple of years of 33.67%, driven by a positive double-digit revenue growth of 29.83% and cost-cutting initiatives. Profit growth, coupled with top-line expansion, is a positive indication. This is because net income isn’t artificially inflated by unsustainable activities such as one-off cost-reductions expected in the future. We see this bottom-line expansion directly benefiting shareholders, with expected positive return on equity of 6.00%.
