Can we expect Beiersdorf to keep growing?
Longer term expectations from the 23 analysts covering BEI’s stock is one of positive sentiment. Given that it becomes hard to forecast far into the future, broker analysts tend to project ahead roughly three years. To reduce the year-on-year volatility of analyst earnings forecast, I've inserted a line of best fit through the expected earnings figures to determine the annual growth rate from the slope of the line.
This results in an annual growth rate of 7.0% based on the most recent earnings level of €728m to the final forecast of €891m by 2022. This leads to an EPS of €3.94 in the final year of projections relative to the current EPS of €3.21. In 2022, BEI's profit margin will have expanded from 10% to 11%.
