Even though it is helpful to be aware of the growth rate each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable to analyze the rate at which the earnings are growing every year, on average. The benefit of this method is that we can get a bigger picture of the direction of ArQule’s earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, be more volatile. 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 0.28%. This means that, we can assume ArQule will grow its earnings by 0.28% every year for the next couple of years.
