I'm working on a model for a client who showed a sales growth rate of 15% Y-o-Y since last 3 years. From the 5 comparable companies, the mean of the sales growth is 8.5%. Now, to complete the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, what rate do I choose for the remaining two quarters?
(1) Should I still take 8.5% for the remnant two quarters and complete the fiscal year end?
(2) Should I take it at 15% and then decrease it for the outer years (2016 through 2021)?
Is there a better way to do it? Help appreciated. Thanks
