The cement manufacturer's recent performance has caught the attention of market analysts and investors alike.

Analysts forecast earnings growth of 20% per annum over the next three years for the company, compared to the market's expected 15% growth rate.
However, the article also notes some potential risks that investors should consider. The company's three-year earnings per share (EPS) showed a 17% decline, which could be a concern for some. Additionally, the report mentions two warning signs for West China Cement, with one being particularly concerning. As the stock continues its upward trajectory, investors are advised to weigh these factors against the company's strong recent performance and future growth expectations.
