Although it’s informative knowing the growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more insightful estimating the rate at which the business is growing on average every year. The advantage of this approach is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Automotive Holdings Group’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I put 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 23%. This means that, we can anticipate Automotive Holdings Group will grow its earnings by 23% every year for the next few years.
