Even though it is informative understanding the growth year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more insightful analyzing the rate at which the earnings are rising or falling on average every year. The advantage of this method is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Solutions 30'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 analyst consensus of forecasted earnings. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 30%. This means that, we can anticipate Solutions 30 will grow its earnings by 30% every year for the next few years.
