While it is helpful to be aware of the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable to estimate the rate at which the earnings are moving every year, on average. The benefit of this technique is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Sensorion’s earnings trajectory over time, fluctuate up and down. 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 -0.9%.
