A commentary highlights the outsized effect of compounding on corporate profits: if profits of U.S. publicly traded companies grow 25% annually over the next five years, they would double not in four years but in just over three. This underscores how higher growth rates make the power of compounding appear more prominently.
Key fact: a sustained 25% annual growth rate shortens the doubling time to roughly three years—well within a five-year horizon—illustrating how cumulative returns accelerate as growth rates rise.
Context: the note frames this as an optical and mathematical consequence of compounding rather than a forecast, stressing the sensitivity of time-to-double to the pace of profit growth. "The power of compounding becomes more visually prominent the higher the growth rates," the commentary states. #earnings #compounding #USmarkets #FiatNews
