Analysts' outlook for the upcoming year seems rather subdued, with earnings increasing by a single digit 2.2%. The growth outlook in the following year seems much more buoyant with rates arriving at double digit 29% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting UK£21m by 2022.
Although it is informative knowing the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more insightful to gauge the rate at which the business is rising or falling on average every year. The benefit of this technique is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Morses Club'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 analyst consensus of forecasted earnings. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 12%. This means that, we can anticipate Morses Club will grow its earnings by 12% every year for the next couple of years.
