If EPS Growth Is Important To You, JCHX Mining ManagementLtd (SHSE:603979) Presents An Opportunity

Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without any revenue, let alone profit.

A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.

In contrast to all that, many investors prefer to focus on companies like JCHX Mining ManagementLtd (SHSE:603979), which has not only revenues, but also profits. Even if this company is fairly valued by the market, investors would agree that generating consistent profits will continue to provide JCHX Mining ManagementLtd with the means to add long-term value to shareholders.
