Q: I own a healthcare company in my portfolio called Craneware PLC. It mostly does business in the US but is listed in London. I know this is not your primary focus but I would like your opinion. It warned on profits and took a 35% haircut last Friday. Do you think the drop was overdone?

Q: I just found your section on "companies." Great site. I am interested in finding dividend and revenue growth for companies. Let's look at Enbridge as an example. You list the 3-year dividend growth as 11.01% and the 5-year dividend growth as 15.88%.
Enbridge currently pays a dividend of $2.96. In 2016 it was $2.12 and in 2014 it was $1.40. These represent growth of 28.38% and 111.43% respectfully.
My question: Is your posting of dividend growth rates an annualized rate? I assume your 3-year dividend growth of 11.01% and 5-year of 15.88% are annualized rates. Am I correct in this assumption?
The same question for revenue growth. You state the 3-year as 10.87% and the 5-year as 5.62%. Are these annualized rates?
Thank you
Michael
