QXT’s projected future profit growth is a robust 14.73%, with an underlying 24.24% growth from its revenues expected over the upcoming years. 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. This prospective profitability should trickle down to shareholders, with analysts expecting the company to generate a high double-digit return on equity of 24.70%. QXT’s bullish prospects on both the top and bottom lines make it an interesting stock to invest more time to understand how it can add value to your portfolio. Want to know more about QXT?

SEC S.p.A. (AIM:SECG)

SEC S.p.A., through its subsidiaries, provides public relations, advocacy, communications, and public affairs services to corporates, trade associations, regional governments, and municipalities in Italy, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom. Established in 1989, and currently headed by CEO Fiorenzo Tagliabue, the company employs 250 people and with the stock’s market cap sitting at GBP £14.79M, it comes under the small-cap stocks category.

SECG’s forecasted bottom line growth is an optimistic 48.55%, driven by the underlying double-digit sales growth of 25.45% over the next few years. An affirming signal is when net income increase also comes with top-line growth. Even though some cost-reduction initiatives may have also pushed up margins, in the case of SECG, it does not appear extreme. 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. SECG’s impressive outlook on all aspects makes it a worthy company to spend more time to understand. Should you add SECG to your portfolio? Take a look at its other fundamentals here.
