Is the Long Term Growth Mean an annualized percentage or the growth for 5 years? THe reason I ask is that I see numbers greater than 20% on average. This seems pretty optimistic for an annualized figure.

Thanks Aaron. But what does the figure mean? Is it annualized, or is it a percentage over five years? In other words, does 20% mean 20% growth next year, and the year after, and the year after,…? Or does it mean that five years from now the earnings growth will be 20% more than today?

Their documentation doesn’t say it either. Anyway AAPL LTGrowth is 8.8% so pretty confident that’s annualized
