Market analysts' prospects for next year seems relatively muted, with earnings continuing to flop around in the negative territory, arriving at -UK£2.1m in 2020. Moreover, earnings are predicted to fall further in the following year, dwindling to -UK£2.0m in 2021 and -UK£1.0m in 2022.
Although it is informative understanding the growth year by year relative to today’s level, it may be more beneficial to gauge the rate at which the earnings are moving every year, on average. The pro of this approach is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Osirium Technologies's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I put 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 18%. This means, we can anticipate Osirium Technologies will grow its earnings by 18% every year for the next few years.
