How is Wacker Neuson going to perform in the near future?
Longer term expectations from the 6 analysts covering WAC’s stock is one of positive sentiment. Given that it becomes hard to forecast far into the future, broker analysts tend to project ahead roughly three years. To get an idea of the overall earnings growth trend for WAC, I’ve plotted out each year’s earnings expectations and inserted a line of best fit to determine an annual rate of growth from the slope of this line.
This results in an annual growth rate of 8.3% based on the most recent earnings level of €145m to the final forecast of €153m by 2022. This leads to an EPS of €2.25 in the final year of projections relative to the current EPS of €2.06. However, the expansion of the current 8.5% margin is not expected to be sustained, as it begins to contract to 7.8% by the end of 2022.
