Analysts’ expectations for this coming year seems pessimistic, with earnings falling by a double-digit -13.69%. However, the next few years seem to illustrate a completely different picture, with expected earnings growth rates generating double digit 22.50% compared to today’s level and continues to increase.
Even though it’s useful to be aware of the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable gauging the rate at which the business is moving on average every year. The pro of this technique is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Morses Club’s earnings trajectory over time, 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 12.92%. This means that, we can assume Morses Club will grow its earnings by 12.92% every year for the next couple of years.
