Although it is informative understanding the growth each year relative to today’s figure, it may be more insightful analyzing the rate at which the business is growing every year, on average. The benefit of this technique is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of SCISYS Group's earnings trajectory over time, be more volatile. To calculate this rate, I've appended 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 23%. This means that, we can expect SCISYS Group will grow its earnings by 23% every year for the next few years.
