Gulf Keystone Petroleum

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Gulf Keystone Petroleum Limited is an oil and gas company focused on exploration, development, and production in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, with a market capitalization of approximately £289.76 million.

Operations: The company generates its revenue primarily from the exploration and production of oil and gas, amounting to $123.51 million.

Insider Ownership: 10.6%

Gulf Keystone Petroleum, despite a challenging financial year with sales dropping to US$123.51 million and a net loss of US$11.5 million, is positioned for recovery with expected revenue growth at 24.1% per year and profit growth forecasts promising profitability within three years. The company's high forecasted return on equity at 31.8% signals strong potential upside, although recent shareholder dilution raises concerns. This blend of rapid anticipated growth coupled with significant insider ownership underscores its appeal as a growth-oriented investment in the UK market.

This potential for profitability and above-average market growth in revenue positions IWG as a growing entity in its sector.
