Exciting times ahead?
Over the next three years, it seems the consensus view of the 13 analysts covering BKT is skewed towards the positive sentiment. Broker analysts tend to forecast up to three years ahead due to a lack of clarity around the business trajectory beyond this. To get an idea of the overall earnings growth trend for BKT, I’ve plotted out each year’s earnings expectations and inserted a line of best fit to determine an annual rate of growth from the slope of this line.
By 2022, BKT's earnings should reach €630m, from current levels of €514m, resulting in an annual growth rate of 5.2%. EPS reaches €0.65 in the final year of forecast compared to the current €0.57 EPS today. Margins are currently sitting at 28%, approximately the same as previous years. With analysts forecasting revenue growth of 0.20584 and BKT's net income growth expected to roughly track that, this company may add value for shareholders over time.
