What can we expect from Renishaw in the longer term?
Over the next three years, it seems the consensus view of the 11 analysts covering RSW is skewed towards the positive sentiment. Since forecasting becomes more difficult further into the future, broker analysts generally project out to around 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.
By 2022, RSW’s earnings should reach UK£161m, from current levels of UK£132m, resulting in an annual growth rate of 7.6%. EPS reaches £2.21 in the final year of forecast compared to the current £1.82 EPS today. This high rate of growth of revenue squeezes margins, as analysts predict an upcoming margin contraction from the current 22% to 20% by the end of 2022.
