What can we expect from ING Groep in the longer term?
The view from 19 analysts over the next three years is one of positive sentiment. Broker analysts tend to forecast up to three years ahead due to a lack of clarity around the business trajectory beyond this. 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 INGA's earnings growth over these next few years.
This results in an annual growth rate of 1.6% based on the most recent earnings level of €4.8b to the final forecast of €5.3b by 2022. This leads to an EPS of €1.34 in the final year of projections relative to the current EPS of €1.22. Analysts are predicting earnings growth to outpace revenue by the end of 2022, resulting in a margin expansion from 27% to 27%.
