Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group S.p.A.'s (BIT:MZB) latest earnings announcement in December 2018 suggested that the company gained from a strong tailwind, leading to a double-digit earnings growth of 10%. Today I want to provide a brief commentary on how market analysts predict Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group's earnings growth outlook over the next few years and whether the future looks even brighter than the past. Note that I will be looking at net income excluding extraordinary items to get a better understanding of the underlying drivers of earnings.
View our latest analysis for Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group
Market analysts' consensus outlook for this coming year seems pessimistic, with earnings declining by -0.2%. But in the following year, there is a complete contrast in performance, with generating double digit 6.0% compared to today’s level and continues to increase to €21m in 2022.
Although it is informative understanding the growth year by year relative to today’s value, it may be more insightful gauging the rate at which the earnings are growing every year, on average. The advantage of this technique is that it removes the impact of near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group's earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute 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 2.9%. This means that, we can expect Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group will grow its earnings by 2.9% every year for the next couple of years.
