Analysts' outlook for the coming year seems positive, with earnings increasing by a robust 11%. This growth seems to continue into the following year with rates arriving at double digit 22% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting €3.0m by 2022.
While it’s useful to be aware of the growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable to estimate the rate at which the business is rising or falling on average every year. The benefit of this approach is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Technical Publications Service's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I've appended 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 20%.
