These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Public Power's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Public Power's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 45% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2024 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 17% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 1.2% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Public Power to grow faster than the wider industry.
