While it is helpful to be aware of the growth each year relative to today’s level, it may be more valuable to gauge the rate at which the company is moving on average every year. The benefit of this technique is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Texhong Textile Group's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To calculate this rate, I've inserted 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 18%. This means that, we can assume Texhong Textile Group will grow its earnings by 18% every year for the next couple of years.
