The 12 analysts covering MND view its longer term outlook with a positive sentiment. Given that it becomes hard to forecast far into the future, broker analysts tend to project ahead roughly three years. 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 MND’s earnings growth over these next few years.
This results in an annual growth rate of 8.4% based on the most recent earnings level of AU$71.5m to the final forecast of AU$88.3m by 2021.
