Market analysts' prospects for next year seems pessimistic, with earnings reducing by a double-digit -35%. However, the next few years seem to illustrate a completely different picture, with expected earnings growth rates reaching double digit 27% compared to today’s level and continues to increase.
While it is helpful to be aware of the rate of growth each year relative to today’s value, it may be more insightful to gauge the rate at which the earnings are rising or falling every year, on average. The advantage of this technique is that we can get a better picture of the direction of Griffin Mining's earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I put a line of best fit through the forecasted earnings by market analysts. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 29%. This means that, we can assume Griffin Mining will grow its earnings by 29% every year for the next couple of years.
