Analysts’ outlook for the upcoming year seems rather muted, with earnings rising by a single digit 3.8%. The growth outlook in the following year seems much more positive with rates generating double digit 15% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting UK£170m by 2021.
While it is informative knowing the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s level, it may be more beneficial estimating the rate at which the company is moving on average every year. The benefit of this approach is that we can get a bigger picture of the direction of Renishaw’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’ve appended 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 9.0%. This means that, we can assume Renishaw will grow its earnings by 9.0% every year for the next few years.
