Even though it is informative knowing the growth rate year by year relative to today’s value, it may be more valuable estimating the rate at which the business is moving every year, on average. The advantage of this method is that we can get a better picture of the direction of Tellurian's earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, fluctuate up and down. To compute this rate, I've inserted a line of best fit through the forecasted earnings by market analysts. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is -9.3%. This means, we can assume Tellurian will chip away at a rate of -9.3% every year for the next few years.
