Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S (CPH:STG): What Does The Future Look Like?
Market analysts' consensus outlook for the coming year seems rather muted, with earnings growing by a single digit 2.20%. The following year doesn't look much more exciting, though earnings does reach Ø820.98M in 2021.
While it’s useful to understand the rate of growth each year relative to today’s figure, it may be more beneficial determining the rate at which the business is growing every year, on average. The benefit of this method is that we can get a bigger picture of the direction of Scandinavian Tobacco Group's earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I put 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 4.41%. This means that, we can anticipate Scandinavian Tobacco Group will grow its earnings by 4.41% every year for the next few years.
