Market analysts’ consensus outlook for this coming year seems positive, with earnings rising by a significant 88.2%. This strong growth in earnings is expected to continue, bringing the bottom line up to UK£5.5m by 2021.
Even though it’s helpful to understand the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more beneficial to estimate the rate at which the earnings are growing on average every year. The benefit of this approach is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Xpediator’s earnings trajectory over time, 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 35.7%. This means, we can anticipate Xpediator will grow its earnings by 35.7% every year for the next couple of years.
