i.e., this series:
EPS growth 2024-2025: +29%
2025 to 2026: +27%
+25%
+23%
+22%
+20%
+19%
+17%
+16%
+15%

I've been thinking along the same lines, slowly declining growth in profit as time passes. But when I look at the numbers, not necessarily these, any numbers, it seems kind of absurd to me. These types of numbers literally assume that there will be no recession anytime in the next 10 years, and that none of these big companies (that create these profits) will reduce capex over that period. The likelihood of that happening is pretty close to zero.

Maybe the numbers will be something like +30%, +25%, +25%, -3%, -20%, -2%, 0%, +15%, +17%, etc instead?
