The advantage of this method is that we can get a better picture of the direction of Endologix’s earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I’ve inserted 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 12%. This means that, we can assume Endologix will grow its earnings by 12% every year for the next couple of years.
