One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting MannKind's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 43% annualised growth to the end of 2024 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 28% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 18% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that MannKind is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
