While it is useful to be aware of the growth rate each year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable to determine the rate at which the company is moving every year, on average. The pro of this approach is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of B+S Banksysteme’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 17%. This means that, we can presume B+S Banksysteme will grow its earnings by 17% every year for the next couple of years.
