Even though it’s useful to understand the growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable to analyze the rate at which the earnings are rising or falling on average every year. The benefit of this technique is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of ENN Energy Holdings's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I put 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 20%. This means, we can anticipate ENN Energy Holdings will grow its earnings by 20% every year for the next couple of years.
