How is Indra Sistemas going to perform in the near future?
Over the next three years, it seems the consensus view of the 14 analysts covering IDR is skewed towards the positive sentiment. Since forecasting becomes more difficult further into the future, broker analysts generally project out to around three years. To reduce the year-on-year volatility of analyst earnings forecast, I've inserted a line of best fit through the expected earnings figures to determine the annual growth rate from the slope of the line.
From the current net income level of €120m and the final forecast of €169m by 2022, the annual rate of growth for IDR’s earnings is 11%. EPS reaches €0.99 in the final year of forecast compared to the current €0.68 EPS today. With a current profit margin of 3.8%, this movement will result in a margin of 5.0% by 2022.
