Expectations about long-term earnings growth are crucial to valuation models and cost of capital estimates.We analyze historical long-term growth rates across a broad cross section of stocks using several indicators of operating performance.We test for persistence and predictability in growth.While some ¢rms have grown at high rates historically, they are relatively rare instances. There is no persistence in long-term earnings growth beyond chance, and there is low predictability even with a wide variety of predictor variables. Speci¢ cally, IBES growth forecasts are overly optimistic and add little predictive power.Valuation ratios also have limited ability to predict future growth.
