Market analysts’ consensus outlook for next year seems pessimistic, with earnings reducing by a double-digit -13%. However, the next few years seem to illustrate a completely different picture, with expected earnings growth rates generating double digit 17% compared to today’s level and continues to increase.
Even though it’s helpful to be aware of the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more beneficial to estimate the rate at which the earnings are growing every year, on average. The pro of this approach is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Evolution Mining’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 the forecasted earnings by market analysts. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 9.8%. This means, we can anticipate Evolution Mining will grow its earnings by 9.8% every year for the next few years.
