Although it’s informative understanding the growth rate each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable gauging the rate at which the business is moving on average every year. The pro of this method is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Tomra Systems’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate 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%. This means that, we can anticipate Tomra Systems will grow its earnings by 12% every year for the next few years.
