Yahoo Finance Analysts Expect Breakeven For Whispir Limited (ASX:WSP) Before Long
Whispir Limited (ASX:WSP) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Whispir Limited develops and provides communications management systems through cloud-based platform in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and North America. With the latest financial year loss of AU$9.7m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of AU$13m, the AU$132m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. The most pressing concern for investors is Whispir's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.
View our latest analysis for Whispir
Consensus from 4 of the Australian Software analysts is that Whispir is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2024, before turning a profit of AU$6.7m in 2025. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 3 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 61% is expected, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of Whispir's upcoming projects, however, take into account that generally a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
One thing we’d like to point out is that Whispir has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
