Market analysts’ consensus outlook for next year seems pessimistic, with earnings falling by a double-digit -12%. However, the next few years show a contrast, with earnings growth becoming positive in 2020, with the bottom line increasing to AU$88m in 2021.
Even though it’s informative understanding the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable to determine the rate at which the earnings are moving every year, on average. The benefit of this technique is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Monadelphous Group’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I’ve inserted 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 8.4%. This means, we can anticipate Monadelphous Group will grow its earnings by 8.4% every year for the next few years.
