Analysts’ expectations for the coming year seems optimistic, with earnings increasing by a robust 11%. This growth seems to continue into the following year with rates reaching double digit 22% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting US$91m by 2022.
While it’s useful to be aware of the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable to evaluate the rate at which the business is rising or falling on average every year. The pro of this approach is that we can get a bigger picture of the direction of Sleep Number’s earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, 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 7.9%. This means that, we can anticipate Sleep Number will grow its earnings by 7.9% every year for the next few years.
