The most recent earnings announcement Mondi plc's (LON:MNDI) released in December 2018 confirmed that the company experienced a strong tailwind, leading to a double-digit earnings growth of 23%. Below, I've presented key growth figures on how market analysts view Mondi's earnings growth trajectory over the next couple of years and whether the future looks even brighter than the past.

Market analysts' prospects for next year seems rather subdued, with earnings climbing by a single digit 7.8%. The growth outlook in the following year seems much more optimistic with rates arriving at double digit 10% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting €929m by 2022.
Even though it is useful to understand the rate of growth each year relative to today’s value, it may be more valuable determining the rate at which the business is moving every year, on average. The advantage of this technique is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Mondi's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I've appended 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 3.9%. This means that, we can anticipate Mondi will grow its earnings by 3.9% every year for the next couple of years.
