If we look at the facts objectively and wisely consider the growth of stock, we can invest our money profitably by choosing the right companies. Here is a list of companies which show huge growth every year, and judging by this growing trend, they will not stop there. These companies have trustworthy management and they invest in right products.

An overview of the shares in the last 5 years:

• In 2011, starting at $16 per share, continuing with a stable increase and a sudden decrease which lowered the share value to only $10.
• In 2012, starting at $10 per share and ending it at $17 per share, which gave their investors a good reason to have trust in them, since the worth of the company increased by 70%.
• In 2013, starting at $17 and ending at $28 per share. This was the second year in a row that the company had a substantial growth, which strengthened the trust of the investors.
• However, the year of 2014 brought incredible results. The shares skyrocketed by the end of the year at $64 per share, which improved the position of the company, aiming to become one of the greatest biotech companies in the world.
• The year of 2015 has been one of the greatest for this company, since it climbed from $64 to $122 per share. This exponential growth was a proof that the investors were satisfied. It was followed by a small decline in value, which shouldn’t be a thing to worry about if we consider that from 2012 to this very moment, the company’s value has increased for almost 1000%.

China Biologic Products has announced its reports of consolidated earnings for the first six months of 2015. In the second quarter they had net sales worth $80 compared to the last year’s $60. Most of the earnings are acquired by selling main plasma components, which in the first 6 months brought over $150 compared to last year’s $116, at the growth rate of 20%. Earnings per share have increased from $1.47 to $1.99. Cash flow reserves have shrunk since they had major investments this year.

What to say about a company that witnesses exponential growth and continually brings larger income to its investors year after year. It is smart to use this short decline of value of shares and invest in this company, which will most certainly be one of the leading biotech companies in the world in a period of only a few years. Taking into consideration the size of the Chinese market as well as the possibility to penetrate other foreign markets, this company has a clear road ahead and a bright vision to follow.
