Looking to enhance your portfolio with high-growth, financially-robust stocks, but not sure where you should even begin? Stocks such as Centennial Resource Development and Ideal Power are deemed to be superior in terms of how much they’re expected to earn and return to shareholders, according to analysts. Whether it be a well-known tech stock or a risky small-cap, I believe diversification towards growth can add value to your current holdings. Below I’ve compiled a list of stocks with a bright future ahead.

Centennial Resource Development, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDEV)

Centennial Resource Development, Inc., together with its subsidiary, Centennial Resource Production, LLC, operates as an independent oil and natural gas company in the United States. Formed in 2015, and currently headed by CEO Mark Papa, the company size now stands at 119 people and with the company’s market cap sitting at USD $5.16B, it falls under the mid-cap stocks category.

CDEV is expected to deliver a buoyant earnings growth over the next couple of years of 31.10%, bolstered by an equally impressive revenue growth. 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. This prospective profitability should trickle down to shareholders, with analysts expecting the company to generate a positive return on equity of 9.21%. CDEV’s impressive outlook on all aspects makes it a worthy company to spend more time to understand. Thinking of investing in CDEV?
