CAJ is expected to deliver a buoyant earnings growth over the next couple of years of 41.85%, driven by a positive double-digit revenue growth of 32.90% 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 11.83%. CAJ’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. Thinking of investing in CAJ?
