How is TFI International going to perform in the near future?
The view from 13 analysts over the next three years is one of positive sentiment. Broker analysts tend to forecast up to three years ahead due to a lack of clarity around the business trajectory beyond this. I've plotted out each year's earnings expectations and inserted a line of best fit to calculate an annual growth rate from the slope in order to understand the overall trajectory of TFII's earnings growth over these next few years.
From the current net income level of CA$292m and the final forecast of CA$298m by 2022, the annual rate of growth for TFII’s earnings is 4.1%. EPS reaches CA$4.15 in the final year of forecast compared to the current CA$3.32 EPS today. However, the expansion of the current 5.7% margin is not expected to be sustained, as it begins to contract to 5.4% by the end of 2022.
