While it’s informative understanding the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s value, it may be more beneficial determining the rate at which the earnings are moving on average every year. The pro of this method is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of AB Dynamics’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I’ve appended a line of best fit through the forecasted earnings by market analysts. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 27%. This means, we can anticipate AB Dynamics will grow its earnings by 27% every year for the next few years.
