Although it is useful to be aware of the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable to analyze the rate at which the company is moving every year, on average. The pro of this method is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Genus Power Infrastructures's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate 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 3.5%. This means, we can presume Genus Power Infrastructures will grow its earnings by 3.5% every year for the next few years.
