As Redrow plc (LON:RDW) released its earnings announcement on 31 December 2018, the consensus outlook from analysts appear somewhat bearish, with earnings expected to grow by 5.5% in the upcoming year relative to the higher past 5-year average growth rate of 24%. By 2020, we can expect Redrow’s bottom line to reach UK£325m, a jump from the current trailing-twelve-month of UK£308m. I will provide a brief commentary around the figures and analyst expectations in the near term. For those keen to understand more about other aspects of the company, you can research its fundamentals here.

How will Redrow perform in the near future?

Longer term expectations from the 10 analysts covering RDW’s stock is one of positive sentiment. Broker analysts tend to forecast up to three years ahead due to a lack of clarity around the business trajectory beyond this. To reduce the year-on-year volatility of analyst earnings forecast, I’ve inserted a line of best fit through the expected earnings figures to determine the annual growth rate from the slope of the line.

By 2022, RDW’s earnings should reach UK£346m, from current levels of UK£308m, resulting in an annual growth rate of 4.3%. This leads to an EPS of £0.98 in the final year of projections relative to the current EPS of £0.85. Margins are currently sitting at 16%, approximately the same as previous years. With analysts forecasting revenue growth of 0.13495 and RDW’s net income growth expected to roughly track that, this company may add value for shareholders over time.
