Analysts’ outlook for next year seems optimistic, with earnings growth more than doubling. Growth seems to drop off in the next couple of years, though still hovering at a double-digit compared to today’s earnings level, generating UK£1.02b in 2021.
Although it’s informative knowing the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s level, it may be more insightful to gauge the rate at which the company is moving on average every year. The advantage of this method is that we can get a better picture of the direction of EVRAZ’s earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, be more volatile. 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 2.15%. This means, we can assume EVRAZ will grow its earnings by 2.15% every year for the next couple of years.
