Analysts’ expectations for the coming year seems optimistic, with earnings increasing by a robust 15%. This growth in earnings is expected to continue at an exponential rate, bringing the bottom line up to US$18m by 2022.
Even though it is helpful to understand the rate of growth each year relative to today’s figure, it may be more beneficial to evaluate the rate at which the earnings are rising or falling every year, on average. The benefit of this approach is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of IntriCon’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate 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 36%. This means, we can anticipate IntriCon will grow its earnings by 36% every year for the next couple of years.
