Market analysts' consensus outlook for the upcoming year seems pessimistic, with earnings decreasing by a double-digit -35%. However, the next few years seem to illustrate a completely different picture, with expected earnings growth rates reaching double digit 27% compared to today’s level and continues to increase.
Even though it is informative understanding the growth each year relative to today’s figure, it may be more insightful estimating the rate at which the business is moving every year, on average. The advantage of this technique is that we can get a bigger picture of the direction of Griffin Mining's earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I put a line of best fit through analyst consensus of forecasted earnings. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 29%. This means, we can anticipate Griffin Mining will grow its earnings by 29% every year for the next few years.
