What Should We Expect From Wynn Macau, Limited's (HKG:1128) Earnings Over The Next Few Years?

Wynn Macau, Limited's (HKG:1128) released its most recent earnings update in December 2018, which suggested that the business benefited from a sizeable tailwind, leading to a high double-digit earnings growth of 69%. Below, I've presented key growth figures on how market analysts perceive Wynn Macau's earnings growth trajectory over the next few years and whether the future looks even brighter than the past. I will be looking at earnings excluding extraordinary items to exclude one-off activities to get a better understanding of the underlying drivers of earnings.

Check out our latest analysis for Wynn Macau

Market analysts' consensus outlook for this coming year seems pessimistic, with earnings falling by -1.8%. But in the following year, there is a complete contrast in performance, with reaching double digit 7.9% compared to today’s level and continues to increase to HK$7.5b in 2022.

Although it’s helpful to understand the growth each year relative to today’s figure, it may be more beneficial to estimate the rate at which the earnings are rising or falling every year, on average. The advantage of this technique is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Wynn Macau's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute 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 5.8%. This means, we can assume Wynn Macau will grow its earnings by 5.8% every year for the next couple of years.
