Enter a percentage amount of earning growth rate that you expect the company will post in long term. This is usually less than the initial years' growth rate, because companies grow rapidly in early years and then their earnings become stable. A value of 0 means you no growth is expected in the long term.

This factor is also very important in estimating the fair value.
