Stock Invest classes $DSWL as a rare Golden Star with significant gains to follow.

The cons:

The company recently made a loss in 2020 due to lockdowns that halted production. This may again reduce profits in 2021 if Covid gets bad again in China.
No known catalysts/news to cause sudden and rapid stock growth at this moment.

The pros:

Revenue is growing rapidly – up 50% in 3 years.
Gross Profit Margin is a stable and strong 15% year-on-year while still ramping up production
The company has a lot of assets and very few liabilities.
DSWL is highly cashflow positive.
Rumoured ties to being a considerable supplier of Tesla’s Shanghai factory (a client with huge growth prospects near-term growth prospects)
Due to the strong fundamentals of the company they managed to pay out a very high dividend yield of 7%, something quite rare for a pennystock and also beats traditional investments in FTSE/S&P ETFs. If you’re LONG on this share like myself, the dividends will continue to reap benefits for you each year while you hold the stock
High level executives have continuously purchased more and more shares including at an above market rate. Recently the chairman invested another $371K of his own money in one transaction to secure more shares. This should tell you something incredible is in the pipeline such as a new client deal or further, sustainable growth at minimum.

TL:DR

The company has incredibly strong fundamentals/financials with a great forecast on future growth. It is a stock with: a high dividend yield, a high price target, great management, in a growing industry.

With some visibility this stock could really run to reach its Fair Value. This isn't financial advice, this is just something I wanted to share to encourage discussion.
