Analysts' expectations for next year seems positive, with earnings climbing by a robust 37%. This growth seems to continue into the following year with rates reaching double digit 79% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting CN¥707m by 2022.

Although it’s informative knowing the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable to gauge the rate at which the earnings are rising or falling on average every year. The pro of this technique is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Huami's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I've appended a line of best fit through the forecasted earnings by market analysts. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 26%. This means that, we can anticipate Huami will grow its earnings by 26% every year for the next few years.
