Value Line and Morningstar reports

Many libraries subscribe to Value Line and Morningstar reports, and in most cases reports can be accessed from home through the library's website. Here are a few examples:

Math

FutureSales = CurrentSales * ( 1 + Rate ) ^ Years

Example:
CurrentSales (Trailing 12 months) = $354 million
Estimated Sales Growth Rate = 13.0% or 0.130
Years into Future = 4.25
($354 million) * ( 1 + 0.130 ) ^ 4.25 = $595 million

Rate = ( FutureSales / CurrentSales ) ^ ( 1 / Years) - 1

Example:
CurrentSales (Trailing 12 months) = $354 million
FutureSales = $595 million
Years into Future = 4.25
( 595 / 354 ) ^ ( 1 / 4.25 ) - 1 = 0.130 or 13.0%
