Market analysts' consensus outlook for the coming year seems optimistic, with earnings growing by a robust 26.47%. This growth seems to continue into the following year with rates reaching double digit 36.38% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting €42.44M by 2021.
Although it’s helpful to understand the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more beneficial to analyze the rate at which the business is rising or falling on average every year. The pro of this method is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of MLP's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I put 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 11.06%. This means, we can presume MLP will grow its earnings by 11.06% every year for the next couple of years.
