Analysts' expectations for the upcoming year seems rather subdued, with earnings climbing by a single digit 2.0%.
The following year doesn't look much more exciting, though earnings does reach S$583m in 2022.
While it’s useful to understand the rate of growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable estimating the rate at which the earnings are growing 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 Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust'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 4.1%. This means that, we can presume Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust will grow its earnings by 4.1% every year for the next few years.
