Check out our latest analysis for Derichebourg
Market analysts’ consensus outlook for the upcoming year seems rather muted, with earnings climbing by a single digit 6.7%. The growth outlook in the following year seems much more positive with rates generating double digit 18% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting €91m by 2022.
While it is useful to understand the growth rate year by year relative to today’s value, it may be more valuable evaluating the rate at which the company is rising or falling every year, on average. The advantage of this approach is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Derichebourg’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I’ve inserted 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 9.7%. This means, we can assume Derichebourg will grow its earnings by 9.7% every year for the next few years.
