The latest earnings announcement China Evergrande Group (HKG:3333) released in April 2019 revealed that the company benefited from a large tailwind, leading to a high double-digit earnings growth of 53%. Below, I've presented key growth figures on how market analysts perceive China Evergrande Group's earnings growth outlook over the next few years and whether the future looks even brighter than the past. I will be using net income excluding extraordinary items in order to exclude one-off volatility which I am not interested in.

Analysts' expectations for the coming year seems positive, with earnings growing by a robust 43%. This growth seems to continue into the following year with rates reaching double digit 56% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting CN¥69b by 2022.
Even though it is useful to understand the rate of growth year by year relative to today’s level, it may be more beneficial to determine the rate at which the company is rising or falling every year, on average. The benefit of this technique is that we can get a bigger picture of the direction of China Evergrande Group's earnings trajectory over the long run, irrespective of near term fluctuations, 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 18%. This means that, we can presume China Evergrande Group will grow its earnings by 18% every year for the next few years.
