While it’s useful to understand the growth year by year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable gauging the rate at which the company is moving 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 Moneysupermarket.com Group's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I've inserted 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 9.7%. This means that, we can assume Moneysupermarket.com Group will grow its earnings by 9.7% every year for the next few years.
