Longer term expectations from the 10 analysts covering RRR’s stock is one of positive sentiment. Generally, broker analysts tend to make predictions for up to three years given the lack of visibility beyond this point. To reduce the year-on-year volatility of analyst earnings forecast, I’ve inserted a line of best fit through the expected earnings figures to determine the annual growth rate from the slope of the line.
By 2022, RRR’s earnings should reach US$257m, from current levels of US$158m, resulting in an annual growth rate of 11%. However, if we exclude extraordinary items from net income, we see that earnings is projected to fall over time, resulting in an EPS of $2.21 in the final year of forecast compared to the current $2.28 EPS today.
