Projecting the likely future growth of revenues and earnings per share is key to completing a Stock Selection Guide. Besides allowing for the review of historical growth trends, Toolkit 6 also lets you incorporate analysts' estimates of EPS and sales growth in your stock studies.

From the Visual Analysis screen, click the "Analysts Est." icon and then enter the fiscal year estimates for up to the next five fiscal years.  These can be found on a number of financial websites - click the Internet button on the Analysts' Estimates window to quickly jump to many sites such as Nasdaq.com or Yahoo! Finance that publish this data.

Once you've entered the figures into Toolkit 6, you'll see the plotted points on your stock study graph, giving you invaluable information that can help you in projecting a company's reasonable growth in the next five years.
