Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Ambac Financial Group is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 39% annualised growth until the end of 2021. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 19% annual decline over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 3.0% per year. So it looks like Ambac Financial Group is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.
