Can we expect Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine to keep growing?
The view from 3 analysts over the next three years is one of positive sentiment. Broker analysts tend to forecast up to three years ahead due to a lack of clarity around the business trajectory beyond this. I've plotted out each year's earnings expectations and inserted a line of best fit to calculate an annual growth rate from the slope in order to understand the overall trajectory of 3613's earnings growth over these next few years.
This results in an annual growth rate of 14% based on the most recent earnings level of HK$581m to the final forecast of HK$885m by 2022.
