Did MONC's recent earnings growth beat the long-term trend and the industry?

MONC's trailing twelve-month earnings (from 30 June 2019) of €341m has jumped 26% compared to the previous year.

Furthermore, this one-year growth rate has exceeded its 5-year annual growth average of 23%, indicating the rate at which MONC is growing has accelerated. What's the driver of this growth? Let's see whether it is only a result of an industry uplift, or if Moncler has seen some company-specific growth.

In terms of returns from investment, Moncler has invested its equity funds well leading to a 34% return on equity (ROE), above the sensible minimum of 20%. Furthermore, its return on assets (ROA) of 17% exceeds the IT Luxury industry of 5.4%, indicating Moncler has used its assets more efficiently. However, its return on capital (ROC), which also accounts for Moncler’s debt level, has declined over the past 3 years from 36% to 26%.

What does this mean?
