Can we expect Beacon Lighting Group to keep growing?
The view from 2 analysts over the next three years is one of positive sentiment. Generally, broker analysts tend to make predictions for up to three years given the lack of visibility beyond this point. 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 BLX's earnings growth over these next few years.
This results in an annual growth rate of 5.1% based on the most recent earnings level of AU$16m to the final forecast of AU$18m by 2022. EPS reaches A$0.084 in the final year of forecast compared to the current A$0.074 EPS today. However, the expansion of the current 6.5% margin is not expected to be sustained, as it begins to contract to 6.4% by the end of 2022.
